Noncompete Agreements, Wages and Efficiency
The Pele Act banned noncompete agreements in Brazilian football in 1998. We explore this policy change to study how noncompetes affect the labor market. The Act changed the wage profile heterogeneously, reducing young players’ wages and raising salaries for older ones. Turnover increased slightly. We develop and structurally estimate a model and show that changing the parameter capturing the noncompete friction leads to the changes observed in th…
The deforestation effects of trade and agricultural productivity in Brazil
The West’s Teeth
Did the International Monetary Fund (IMF) play a role in the United States and its Western allies efforts to contain the advance of communism during the Cold War? To answer this question, we construct a new database containing the number of conditions applied to over 500 IMF loans since 1970 and analyse how the distance from a borrowing country to its closet communist neighbour affected the IMF conditionality. We show that the Fund imposed fewer …
The UK Productivity and Jobs Puzzle
UK GDP per worker fell by almost 4% in the five years following Lehman's collapse in 2008, something unprecedented in post‐war history. A possible reason for poor productivity is low growth in the effective capital–labour ratio. This is likely to have occurred because there has been a fall in real wages and increases in the cost of capital due to the financial crisis. We simulate various changes in the capital–labour ratio and after accounting fo…
