Machine learning simulates agent-based model towards optimal policy : a surrogate model for public policy assessment
Furtado, Bernardo Alves; Andreão, Gustavo Onofore - 2023
Public policies are not intrinsically positive or negative. Rather, policies provide varying levels of effects across different recipients. Methodologically, computational modeling enables the application of a combination of multiple influences on empirical data, thus allowing for heterogeneous...

Alcohol, violence and injury-induced mortality: evidence from a modern-day prohibition
Barron, Kai; Parry, Charles D. H.; Bradshaw, Debbie; … - 2022
This paper evaluates the impact of a sudden and unexpected nation-wide alcohol sales ban in South Africa. We find that this policy causally reduced injury-induced mortality in the country by at least 14% during the five weeks of the ban. We argue that this estimate constitutes a lower bound on...

The impact of carbon disclosure mandates on emissions and financial operating performance
Downar, Benedikt; Ernstberger, Jürgen; Reichelstein, Stefan - 2020
We examine whether a disclosure mandate for greenhouse gas emissions creates stakeholder pressure for firms to subsequently reduce their emissions. For UK-incorporated listed firms such a mandate was adopted in 2013. Using a difference-in-differences design, we find that firms affected by the...
