Using linked employer–employee data for all China's public listed firms over the period 2001–10, we find top executive compensation exhibits many of the traits familiar in the Western literature, although sometimes in a more muted way, and with some...

Credit constraints and spillovers from foreign firms in China (2014)
Journal Article
Agarwal, N., Milner, C., & Riaño, A. (2014). Credit constraints and spillovers from foreign firms in China. Journal of Banking & Finance Law and Practice, 48, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jbankfin.2014.01.036

This paper examines whether credit constraints affect Chinese firms’ absorption of productivity spillovers originating from the activity of foreign-owned firms. Using firm-level data for 2001–2005, we find evidence of positive spillovers originating... Read More about Credit constraints and spillovers from foreign firms in China.

Participatory accountability and collective action: experimental evidence from Albania (2014)

Barr, A., Packard, T., & Serra, D. (2014). Participatory accountability and collective action: experimental evidence from Albania. European Economic Review, 68, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.euroecorev.2014.01.010

It has been argued that accountability is a public good that only citizens can provide. Governments can put institutions in place that allow citizens to hold public servants to account, but citizens must participate in those institutions if accountab...

This paper reviews evidence published in the last 10 years that has added to our understanding of the effects of aid on government spending and tax effort in recipient countries, with a discussion of when (general) budget support is a fiscally effici...

The desegregating effect of school tracking (2014)
Journal Article
Fraja, G. D., & Martínez-Mora, F. (2014). The desegregating effect of school tracking. Journal of Urban Economics, 80, 164-177. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jue.2014.01.001

This paper makes the following point: “detracking” schools, that is preventing them from allocating students to classes according to their ability, may lead to an increase in income residential segregation. It does so in a simple model where househol... Read More about The desegregating effect of school tracking.

Market distortions and government transparency (2014)
Journal Article
Albornoz, F., Esteban, J., & Vanin, P. (2014). Market distortions and government transparency. Journal of European Economic Association, 12(1), https://doi.org/10.1111/jeea.12052

In this paper, we investigate how government transparency depends on economic distortions. We first consider an abstract class of economies in which a benevolent policy maker is privately informed about the exogenous state of the economy and contempl...

Sectoral and regional expansion of emissions trading (2014)
Journal Article
Böhringer, C., Dijkstra, B., & Rosendahl, K. E. (2014). Sectoral and regional expansion of emissions trading. Resource and Energy Economics, 37, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.reseneeco.2013.12.003

We consider an international emissions trading scheme with partial sectoral and regional coverage. Sectoral and regional expansion of the trading scheme is beneficial in aggregate, but not necessarily for individual countries. We simulate internation...

One swallow doesn’t make a summer: reply to Kataria (2014)
Journal Article
Maniadis, Z., Tufano, F., & List, J. A. (2014). One swallow doesn’t make a summer: reply to Kataria. Econ journal watch, 11(1),

In this paper we reply to Mitesh Kataria’s comment, which criticized the simulations of Maniadis, Tufano, and List (2014, Am. Econ. Rev.104(1), 277-290). We view these simulations as a means to illustrating the fact that we economists are unaware of... Read More about One swallow doesn’t make a summer: reply to Kataria.

One swallow doesn't make a summer: new evidence on anchoring effects (2014)
Journal Article
Maniadis, Z., Tufano, F., & List, J. A. (2014). One swallow doesn't make a summer: new evidence on anchoring effects. American Economic Review, 104(1), https://doi.org/10.1257/aer.104.1.277

Some researchers have argued that anchoring in economic valuations casts doubt on the assumption of consistent and stable preferences. We present new evidence that explores the strength of certain anchoring results. We then present a theoretical fram...

Asymptotic behaviour of tests for a unit root against an explosive alternative (2014)
Journal Article
Harvey, D. I., & Leybourne, S. J. (2014). Asymptotic behaviour of tests for a unit root against an explosive alternative. Economics Letters, 122(1), https://doi.org/10.1016/j.econlet.2013.11.006

We compare the asymptotic local power of upper-tail unit root tests against an explosive alternative based on ordinary least squares (OLS) and quasi-differenced (QD) demeaning/detrending. We find that under an asymptotically negligible initialisation... Read More about Asymptotic behaviour of tests for a unit root against an explosive alternative.
