Lewis, Daniel J.; Melcangi, Davide; Pilossoph, Laura - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2024
We estimate the unconditional distribution of the marginal propensity to consume (MPC) using clustering regression applied to the 2008 economic stimulus payments. By deviating from the standard approach of estimating MPC heterogeneity using interactions with observables, we can recover the full...

Political Connections, Allocation of Stimulus Spending, and the Jobs Multiplier
Choi, Joonkyu; Penciakova, Veronika; Saffie, Felipe - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2024
We study the role of firms' political influence on the effectiveness of government spending using ARRA as a laboratory. Through an IV approach, we show that a 10 percentage points increase in the share of politically connected spending lowers the job creation effect of stimulus by 33 percent at...
