We study experimentally the properties of the majority runoff system and compare them to the ones of plurality rule, in the setup of a divided majority. Our focus is on Duverger's famous predictions that the plurality rule leads to a higher coordination of votes on a limited number of candidates...

Bouton et al. (2022) compare the properties of majority run-off and plurality rule elections in a laboratory setting, focusing on Duverger's prediction that plurality rule leads to higher levels of strategic voting. They produce a causal estimate of the difference in incidence of strategic...

We exploit an expansion in social protection to middle-income households to provide evidence on how middle-income households cope with economic shocks and how to build their resilience. We use a regression discontinuity design around the eligibility cutoff for a program that delivered monthly...

GEOSS (Global Earth Observation System of Systems) is an initiative to network earth observation professionals and researchers. GEOSS promotes technical standards for different aspects of remote sensing. This document is one of them; it is dedicated to the use of remote sensing for crop area...

This article characterises the commercial airline transport market in Colombia and then develops a reputation model describing the relationship between airlines and consumers. Grossman and Hart's pioneering work (1986) is thus used for modelling horizontal integration between firms and is then...
