This paper documents the fact that women ask for less money in salary negotiations. The main mechanism is that they are less informed about the average salaries that they could be asking for.

This paper studies incentives in science, focusing on the key decision of when to stop a research project. The trade-off is between working for longer in order to improve the quality of the research, versus stopping earlier in order to claim being the first to have made a particular discovery.

This paper evaluates the success of South Korea's industrial policy, implemented in the early seventies and widely credited with sparking the country's industrial development.

This paper proposes a new explanation for the Neolithic Revolution (i.e. the switch from nomadic hunter-gatherers to sedentary farmers). The explanation is based around the notion of risk in calorie consumption. The increase in seasonality at the end of the last ice age increased the attractiveness of food storage and decreased the value of chasing food sources from location to location.

This paper examines the "revolving door" phenomenon in China's judicial system, where former judges transition to become lawyers, and finds that these lawyers secure significantly higher win rates for their clients due to both their legal expertise and personal connections. The study further reveals that while "revolving-door" lawyers can enhance judicial decision-making, their influence also biases outcomes, leading to a non-monotonic impact on overall judicial quality as their numbers increase.

Workers suffering harassment are often reluctant to report it. Laura Boudreau discusses how to leverage economic theory to increase the likelihood that harassment is reported.

Fraud is a severe and persistent problem in the healthcare industry. Paul Eliason discusses how both regulation and litigation can alleviate fraud in the context of ambulances for dialysis services.

Both physicians and nurse practitioners treat patients in the Emergency Department. David Chan discusses work analysing the productivity both across and within these professions.

Ziad Obermeyer exploits the 'donut hole` in Medicare (i.e., the interval in which beneficiaries are moved from co-paying 25% to 100% of the cost of their drugs) to study the effects on patient mortality.

Manasvini Singh argues that when hospitals become more overcrowded, black patients are more likely to die, while white patients are not.

For-profit providers in the hospice industry have been accused of 'gaming` the system by enrolling patients who should not qualify. However, even some fraud may save Medicare spending if hospices are substantially less costly than alternative care. Jetson Leder-Luis evaluates this trade-off and finds that hospices save money for Medicare by offsetting other expensive care.

Ambar La Forgia discusses what happens to the productivity and patient outcomes of fertility clinics that become part of a chain of clinics.

Dan Gross discusses the labour market effects of a big technology-induced shock to labour demand of U.S. young women in the early 19th century: the substitution of manual telephone switching by mechanical switching.

Ryan Kellogg discusses the rationale for the existence of drilling deadlines in the contract between mineral owners and extracting firms. He then estimates the additional efficiency generated by these contractual instruments.

Emily Nix discusses what happens to perpetrators and victims following violence at work. Perpetrators experience a penalty in earnings and likelihood of employment, but so do victims. Perpetrators against male victims suffer more than perpetrators against female victims. The firms where the violence takes place experience an exodus of female employees, especially if the firms don't have many female managers.

Santiago Tobón discusses how the governance (e.g. settling disputes among neighbours, enforcing contracts...) provided by organised criminal groups depends on state presence across the neighbourhoods of Medellin, Colombia. Previous literature hypothesised a negative relation (i.e. organised groups settle disputes when the state is absent), but Santiago hypothesises and shows support for a positive relation.

Wouter Dessein discusses how the delegation of tasks to subordinates in organisations depends on demand volatility, the need for coordination across departments, and the interaction between both.

Yulu Tang discusses the trade-offs faced by migrant workers in a food delivery platform, when working alongside other workers from the same hometown. On the one hand, they can learn from their hometown colleagues. On the other hand, they face shocks that are correlated over time.

Pauline Mourot discusses how to estimate the complementarities or substitabilities between surgeons and hospitals in the production of coronary artery bypass graft surgeries.
