A probabilistic measure of state fragility

Margalef, Joan - 2026

This paper develops a novel measure of state fragility: the probability of state failure. We define state failure as the inability to perform core functions and operationalize it through observable breakdowns- conflict, territorial control, institutional deficiency, and public service...

Measuring economic preferences with behavioral experiments and surveys across the globe

Kosfeld, Michael; Sharafi, Zahra; González, Maíra Sontag - 2026 - Original version: January 2025, this version: January 2026

Recent work in economics has developed survey-based measures of economic preferences that are "experimentally" or "behaviorally validated." We scrutinize this approach focusing on the Global Preference Survey (Falk et al., 2018, 2023). Replicating their behavioral validation on almost 2,000...

Assenza, Tiziana; Huber, Stefanie J.; Mogilevskaja, Anna; … - 2026

We use a randomized experiment in the Bundesbank Online Panel-Households (n ≈ 3, 900) to show that the estimated link between inflation expectations and household consumption flips sign depending on survey wording. This finding reconciles prior contradictory results and has direct implications...

The conceptual foundations of self-control and its link to impulsivity and attention

Cobb-Clark, Deborah A.; Silva Goncalves, Juliana; … - 2026

Self-control, attention, and impulsivity jointly support goal-directed behavior yet are often examined in isolation with heterogeneous measures. We integrate validated selfreported scales with a hybrid, incentivized behavioral task that synthesizes two canonical experimental designs and adds...

Measuring the incidence and impacts of skill gaps among European workers

McGuinness, Séamus; Staffa, Elisa - 2025

In this paper, we examine the incidence of skill gaps among European employees. We identify the worker and firm level characteristics most commonly associated with skill gaps and investigate the extent to which this particular form of skill mismatch is associated with wage penalties. In 2021, we...
