Who shirks at work? : an application of machine learning to time use data

Gimenez-Nadal, José Ignacio; Molina, José Alberto; … - 2026

Worker productivity depends not only on hours worked, but also on how work time is actually used, and time-use evidence shows that non-work at work is non-trivial. This paper provides a data-driven characterization of shirking, and studies which observable characteristics best predict shirking...

Expertise and prediction accuracy

Grewenig, Elisabeth; Gründler, Klaus; Lergetporer, Philipp - 2026

Public support for policy interventions depends on citizens' beliefs about their likely effects. We examine how individuals form such beliefs by studying their predictions of experimental outcomes in a policy-relevant setting, and why their predictions differ from expert benchmarks. We elicit...

An analytical framework for causal decision-making in international trade

Vanegas-López, Juan Gabriel; Pérez-Aguirre, Carlos Andrés - 2026

In international trade, selecting an Incoterm is a critical decision impacting costs and risks. Previous quantitative studies relied on traditional econometric models imposing strict linearity, limiting causal interpretation. This study addresses this gap by applying a causal inference framework...
