Beyond cash: Assessing externality and behaviour effects of non-experimental cash transfers
Ribas, Rafael Perez; Soares, Fábio Veras; Teixeira, … - 2010
In this paper we propose a method to estimate externality effects in cash transfer programmes, even in cases when the … benefit is not randomly assigned. Externality is assessed through the decomposition of the average treatment effect on the … treated (ATT) into participation (direct) effect and externality (indirect) effect. We also suggest a nonparametric …

van den Brink, Rene; van der Laan, Gerard; Moes, Nigel - 2010
In this paper we consider the problem of sharing water from a river among a group of agents (countries, cities, firms) located along the river. The benefit of each agent depends on the amount of water consumed by the agent. An allocation of the water among the agents is efficient when it...

Revisiting the decentralization theorem: on the role of externalities
Koethenbuerger, Marko - 2007
The "Decentralization Theorem" (Oates, 1972) is central to the discussion of fiscal federalism. We revisit the role of consumption spillovers in evaluating the merits of (de)centralization. Unlike the general prediction, a higher degree of spillovers may reduce the difference in utility of...

Negative externalities and equilibrium existence in competitive markets with adverse selection
von Siemens, Ferdinand; Kosfeld, Michael - 2009
Rothschild and Stiglitz (1976) show that there need not exist a competitive equilibrium in markets with adverse selection. Building on their framework we demonstrate that externalities between agents - an agent's utility upon accepting a contract depends on the average type attracted by the...
