Is Poland the next Spain?
Caselli, Francesco; Tenreyro, Silvana - London School of Economics (LSE) - 2005
We revisit Western Europe’s record with labor-productivity convergence, and tentatively extrapolate its implications … higher rates of physical capital accumulation and greater total factor productivity gains. These (relatively) high rates of … reallocation of labor from agriculture to manufacturing and services, which have higher capital intensity and use resources more …

From Russia with love: the impact of relocated firms on incumbent survival
Falck, Oliver; Guenther, Christina; Heblich, Stephan; … - London School of Economics (LSE) - 2011
We identify the impact of local firm concentration on incumbent performance with a quasi natural experiment. When Germany was divided after World War II, many firms in the machine tool industry fled the Soviet occupied zone to prevent expropriation. We show that the regional location decisions...

Adverse selection in a community-based health insurance scheme in rural Africa: implications for introducing targeted subsidies
Parmar, Divya; Souares, Aurélia; de Allegri, Manuela; … - London School of Economics (LSE) - 2012
Background Although most community-based health insurance (CBHI) schemes are voluntary, problem of adverse selection is hardly studied. Evidence on the impact of targeted subsidies on adverse selection is completely missing. This paper investigates adverse selection in a CBHI scheme in Burkina...

A nonparametric regression estimator that adapts to error distribution of unknown form
Linton, Oliver; Xiao, Zhijie - London School of Economics (LSE) - 2001
We propose a new estimator for nonparametric regression based on local likelihood estimation using an estimated error score function obtained from the residuals of a preliminary nonparametric regression. We show that our estimator is asymptotically equivalent to the infeasible local maximum...
