We argue that the measures of backward linkages used in recent papers on spillovers from multinational companies are potentially problematic, as they depend on a number of restrictive assumptions, namely that (i) multinationals use domestically produced inputs in the same proportion as imported...

Theoretical analyses of (optimal) performance measures are typically performed within therealm of the linear agency model. This model implies that, for a given compensation scheme,the agent's optimal effort is unrelated to the amount of noise in the performance measure...

First, we document a … reduction in the gender gap can be smaller than what the estimates without taking into account the measurement error might … suggest. We conclude that a careful validation study would be necessary to ascertain the magnitude of the spurious measurement …
