Barro et al. (2022) investigate the quantity of safe assets held in the cross-section of developed countries and find that the average safe-asset ratio (ratio of safe assets to total assets) was 37% in 2015 and has remained relatively stable over time. They also document a crowding-out...

In their paper, Sampson (2023) introduces a theoretical framework and conducts empirical testing to elucidate the impact of gaps in countries' innovative efficiencies on income, wages, and trade dynamics. We successfully replicate the paper's findings by running the provided codes, and confirm...

We provide a reproduction and replication of Brutger (2024), which examines the effects of the University of California, Berkeley's Pipeline Initiative in Political Science (PIPS) program on five self-reported outcomes related to interest and preparation towards pursuing graduate school. We are...

Colantone et al. (2024a) use survey data to examine how a major ban on combustion engine cars in Milan, Italy affected voting behavior of treated car owners. The authors find that the ban raised the probability of voting for the populist right wing Lega party by 15.4-18.3 percentage points, a...

Gill and Prowse (2023) study response times using a repeated p-beauty contest (p = 0.7). Looking at between-subject variation in response times, they found that subjects who think for longer, on average, win more rounds and choose lower numbers. When comparing average response times and level-k...

Guo et al. (2023) examine the impact of early-life experiences of politicians on their policy implementations. They utilize differential exposure of Chinese county party secretaries to the Great Famine of 1959-1961 as a natural experiment and investigate the impact on their policy preferences,...
