  • When Transparency Fails

    Erika Deserranno, Gianmarco León et al.ARTICLEThe Review of Economics and…2025

    We study the effect of raising the level and transparency of financial incentives offered to local agents for acquiring clients of a new banking product on take-up. We find that paying agents higher incentives increases take-up and usage, but only when the incentives are unknown to prospective clients. When disclosed, higher incentives have no effect on take-up and usage, despite greater agent effort. This is due to the financial incentives sendi…

  • The Allocation of Incentives in Multilayered Organizations

    Gianmarco León, Erika Deserranno et al.ARTICLEJournal of Political Economy2025Cited by: 1References: 8

    Does the allocation of incentives across the hierarchy of an organization matter for its performance? In an experiment with a large public health organization, we find that health care provision is highly affected by how incentives are allocated between frontline workers and their supervisors. Sharing incentives equally between these two layers raises health visits by 61% compared with unilateral allocations and uniquely improves health service p…

    Open AccessAndré Gröger, André Groeger et al.ARTICLEWorld Development2023Cited by: 3References: 4

    Venezuela is currently experiencing the biggest crisis in its recent history. This has led more than 7.3 million Venezuelans to emigrate, at least 1.5 million of those to Peru, which amounted to an increase of over 4 percent in the Peruvian population. Venezuelan immigrants in Peru are relatively similar in cultural terms, but, on average, more skilled than Peruvians. In this paper, we first examine Venezuelans’ perceptions of being discriminated…

According to recent estimates, there are a total of 5.6 million Venezuelan immigrants worldwide with over one million now living in Peru, which has led to an over 2 percent increase in the country’s population. Unlike in many other episodes of refugee migration, Venezuelan immigrants are not only very similar in cultural t…

  • Accountability, Political Capture, and Selection Into Politics

    Miriam Artiles, Lukas Kleine-Rueschkamp et al.ARTICLEThe Review of Economics and…2021

    We estimate the effects of political accountability on the selection of politicians when accountability mechanisms are prone to political capture. We compare the characteristics of candidates running in municipalities where the previous incumbent was ousted from office through a recall referendum with those who run where the recall referendum failed by a small margin. Having a recalled incumbent in the previous term causes a negative selection of…

    Christopher Hansman, Jonas Hjort et al.ARTICLEJournal of Political Economy2020Cited by: 4References: 4

    We study the relationship between firms’ output quality and organizational structure. Using data onthe production and transaction chain that makes up Peruvian fishmeal manufacturing, we establish threeresults. First, firms integrate suppliers when the quality premium rises for exogenous reasons. Second,suppliers change their behavior to better maintain input quality when vertically integrated. Third, firmsproduce a highershareof high-quality outp…
