We study a sequential protocol of endogenous coalition formation based on a process of bilateral agreements among the players. We apply the game to a Cournot environment with linear demand and constant average costs. We show that the final outcome of any Subgame Perfect Equilibrium of the game...

We implement a family of efficient proposals to share benefits generated in environments with externalities. These … proposals extend the Shapley value to games with externalities and are parametrized through the method by which the … externalities are averaged. We construct two slightly different mechanisms: one for environments with negative externalities and the …

We consider environments in which agents can cooperate on multiple issues and externalities are present both within and … across issues. We propose a way to extend (Shapley) values that have been put forward to deal with externalities within … issues to games where there are externalities within and across issues. We characterize our proposal through axioms that …

Does fiscal consolidation lead to social unrest? Using cross-country evidence for the period 1919 to 2008, we examine the extent to which societies become unstable after budget cuts. The results show a clear correlation between fiscal retrenchment and instability. Expenditure cuts are...

Does additional government spending improve the electoral chances of incumbent political parties? This paper provides the first quasi-experimental evidence on this question. Our research design exploits discontinuities in federal funding to local governments in Brazil around several population...

This paper uses a regression discontinuity design to estimate the impact of additional unrestricted grant financing on local public spending, public service provision, schooling, literacy, and income at the community (município) level in Brazil. Additional transfers increased local public...
