Leveling up? : an inter-neighborhood experiment on parochialism and the efficiency of multi-level public goods provision
Gallier, Carlo; Goeschl, Timo; Kesternich, Martin; … - 2017 - This version: February 22, 2017
Many public goods can be provided at different spatial levels. Evidence from social identity theory and in-group favoritism raises the possibility that where higher-level provision is more efficient, subjects' narrow concern for local outcomes (parochialism) could harm efficiency. Building on...

Small farms and fragmented plots are hallmarks of agriculture in less-developed countries, and there is evidence of high returns to land consolidation and reallocation. Complementarities, holdout and asymmetric information mean that private trade will be slow to reallocate land, and imply that...

Professional identity and the gender gap in risk-taking : evidence from a field experiment with scientists

The gender gap in risk-taking is often used to explain differences in labor market outcomes. Some studies, however, suggest that this gender gap does not extend to professional contexts. This paper examines potential drivers of the gender gap in risk-taking, comparing the professional context of...
