In this paper, we propose a new estimation strategy that uses the variation in success between the male and the female national soccer team within a country to identify the causal impact of gender equality on women's soccer performance. In particular, we analyze whether within-country variations...

Broadband has become an integral part of digital infrastructure of countries around the globe even in developing regions. Accordingly, this paper investigates the broadband growth nexus for 24 Asian countries for period 2001-2011. Using fixed effects with Driscoll and Kraay standard errors, the...

This paper is a non-technical introduction to the use of three micro-econometric tools that have only recently been applied in empirical investigations of the links between international firm activities and firm performance. It shows why it is important to use these methods, how to use them in...

This paper examines the causal relationship between family income and child out- comes. Motivated by theoretical predictions and OLS results suggesting a nonlinear relationship, we depart from previous studies in allowing the marginal eects on children's outcomes of an increase in family income...
