In this paper, we examine the impact of variation in local economic conditions on the hazard into child marriage (i.e. prior to age 18) among young women in Africa and India. We show that rainfall shocks, a major source of income variation in these areas, have similar effects on crop yields but...

This paper exploits a liquidity shock from a large-scale welfare programme in Brazil to investigate the importance of credit constraints and informal financial assistance in explaining entrepreneurship. Previous research focuses exclusively on how liquidity shocks change recipients' behaviour...

We study the impact of incomplete consumption risk-sharing on land misallocation in rural economies. We develop a general equilibrium model of land cultivation choices, where heterogeneous agricultural households face idiosyncratic output shocks and insure themselves by participating in a...

In this paper we introduce a stochastic network formation model where agents choose both actions and links. Neighbors … in the network benefit from each other's action levels through local complementarities and there exists a global …

both, the network of R&D collaborations as well as the market structure, are endogenously determined. We show that the … coevolution of market and network structure matter for the relationship between competition and innovation. Moreover, our model … allows us to explain differences in the R&D network structures observed across different industries, and how they are related …

We report agent-based simulations of religiosity dynamics in a spatially dispersed population. Agents' religiosity responds to neighbors via pairwise interactions as well as via club goods effects. A simulation run is deemed fundamentalist if the final distribution contains a sizable minority of...
