title: Replication data for: Identifying the Elasticity of Substitution with Biased Technical Change

description: The capital-labor substitution elasticity and technical biases in production are critical parameters. The received wisdom claims their joint identification is infeasible. We challenge that interpretation. Putting the new approach of "normalized" production functions at the heart of a Monte Carlo analysis we identify the conditions under which identification is feasible and robust. The key result is that jointly modeling the production function and first-order conditions is superior to single-equation approaches especially when merged with "normalization." Our results will have fundamental implications for production-function estimation under non-neutral technical change, for understanding the empirical relevance of normalization and variability underlying past empirical studies.

title: Distributed Processing of Movement Signaling

description: Data files for “Distributed Processing of Movement Signaling”-- PNASTwo Matlab “.mat” files, one for each monkey contain organized data from 10 different recording sessions. Each file consists of a structure, MonkeySdata or MonkeyIdata, which has field names of force, mforce, displacement, mdisplacement, fr, and mfr. The “m” if signifies mean- the repetitions to each of the 16 conditions were averaged together. The “force” field contains 3D force data collected from the force sensor below the handle. Dimension 2 is along the track, Dimension 1, is toward/away from the monkey, and Dimension 3 is up and down. The data are arranged in 10-second bins and the handle release took place in bin 7. The force data are arranged as 16 experimental conditions x number of repetitions x 3 force dimensions x number of bins. The mforce data are 16 x 3 x bins. The displacement data are 16 x number of repetitions x number of bins, mdisplacement is 16 x number of bins. The firing rate (as described in the text), fr, is 16 x number of repetitions x number of isolated units x number of bins.The mean data were used for Figures 6 and 7. The force generated at release came from the maximum force for that condition taken along dimension 2. The displacement came from bin 70 of the mean displacement data.

title: Replication data for: Social Comparisons and Contributions to Online Communities: A Field Experiment on MovieLens

description: We design a field experiment to explore the use of social comparison to increase contributions to an online community. We find that, after receiving behavioral information about the median user's total number of movie ratings, users below the median demonstrate a 530 percent increase in the number of monthly movie ratings, while those above the median decrease their ratings by 62 percent. When given outcome information about the average user's net benefit score, above-average users mainly engage in activities that help others. Our findings suggest that effective personalized social information can increase the level of public goods provision. (JEL C93, H41, L82)

title: Replication data for: Are Health Insurance Markets Competitive?

description: To gauge the competitiveness of the group health insurance industry, I investigate whether health insurers charge higher premiums, ceteris paribus, to more profitable firms. Such "direct price discrimination" is feasible only in imperfectly competitive settings. Using a proprietary national database of health plans offered by a sample of large, multisite firms from 1998-2005, I find firms with positive profit shocks subsequently face higher premium growth, even for the same health plans. Moreover, within a given firm, those sites located in concentrated insurance markets experience the greatest premium increases. The findings suggest health care insurers are exercising market power in an increasing number of geographic markets. (JEL G22, I11, I18, L11, L25)

title: Replication data for: Wage Risk and Employment Risk over the Life Cycle

description: We specify a life-cycle model of consumption, labor supply and job mobility in an economy with search frictions. We distinguish different sources of risk, including shocks to productivity, job arrival, and job destruction. Allowing for job mobility has a large effect on the estimate of productivity risk. Increases in the latter impose a considerable welfare loss. Increases in employment risk have large effects on output and, primarily through this channel, affect welfare. The welfare value of programs such as Food Stamps, partially insuring productivity risk, is greater than the value of unemployment insurance which provides (partial) insurance against employment risk.

title: Replication data for: Determinants of Redistributive Politics: An Empirical Analysis of Land Reforms in West Bengal, India

description: We investigate political determinants of land reform implementation in the Indian state of West Bengal. Using a village panel spanning 1974-1998, we do not find evidence supporting the hypothesis that land reforms were positively and monotonically related to control of local governments by a Left Front coalition vis-à-vis the right-centrist Congress party, combined with lack of commitment to policy platforms. Instead, the evidence is consistent with a quasi-Downsian theory stressing the role of opportunism (reelection concerns) and electoral competition. (JEL D72, O13, O17, Q15)

title: The Eurosprite 2009-2013 Catalogue

description: The Eurosprite 2009-2013 Catalogue contains the summary of optical observations of transient luminous events (TLEs) collected by the Eurosprite observational network and partners over Europe and the Mediterranean Sea during 2009 to 2013. Each entry in the catalogue consists of a summary of TLEs recorded by the observer during a thunderstorm/observing period (e.g., the active period of a thunderstorm or more cells together) and reports the time span and approximate geographical area of the observations, the number and types of TLEs that were recorded, a reference person and additional comments. Optical images related to each entry of the catalogue are stored and maintained by the observer and can be reached through its contact person. A detailed description of the observational network, of the observations and on the interpretation of the observations can be found in Arnone et al., 2019, Surveys in Geophysics. Each entry is reported in the following terms. DATE: date of start of sample (only start even if crossing the night) UT: UT time of start and end of sample (end can be in the next day) LON: approximate Lon1/Lon2 range of the area affected by TLEs LAT: approximate Lat1/Lat2 range of the area affected by TLEs TLEs: total number of TLEs observed (with the number of individual types of TLEs observed, i.e. sp: sprites, el: elves, ha: halos, bj: blue jets, gj: gigantic jets, ot: other types). Clearly distinguished TLEs in the same frame count as separate ones. TLEs that appear part of the same event count as one. For this reason the total number of TLEs may be smaller than the sum of individual types. REF: a contact person for the entry COM: additional comments on e.g., cameras involved or partners

title: Replication data for: Consumption Taxes and Redistribution

description: This study considers replacing the current US tax system with only a flat tax consumption tax, showing, in contrast to the literature, that such a reform leads to a decline in inequality and increase in welfare for the welfare-poor. The results are obtained from a simple model that identifies the main channels through which the reform affects the economy. It is shown also that these novel results depend on the distribution of wealth and earnings, and that they hold for the relevant empirical distributions. (JEL D31, H23, H25)

title: Replication data for: Kinship, Incentives, and Evolution

description: We analyze how family ties affect incentives, with focus on the strategic interaction between two mutually altruistic siblings. The siblings exert effort to produce output under uncertainty, and they may transfer output to each other. With equally altruistic siblings, their equilibrium effort is nonmonotonic in the common degree of altruism, and it depends on the harshness of the environment. We define a notion of local evolutionary stability of degrees of sibling altruism and show that this degree is lower than the kinship-relatedness factor. Numerical simulations show how family ties vary with the environment, and how this affects economic outcomes. (JEL D13, D64, J12, Z13)

title: Replication data for: Elections, Capital Flows, and Politico-economic Equilibria

description: We study an open economy where a pro-labor and a pro-business candidate compete in an election. The winner chooses taxes, which affect investment returns. Electoral outcomes depend on the size of the foreign debt, but the debt itself reflects expectations about the election. The resulting interaction is novel and has several implications. Elections are associated with increased volatility. Politico-economic crises can occur. Inefficiencies vanish if the candidates commit to an appropriate tax policy, but such commitments have predictable effects on the election. Empirical evidence supporting the theory is discussed.

title: Replication data for: Preemption Games: Theory and Experiment

description: Several impatient investors with private costs Ci face an indivisible irreversible investment opportunity whose value V is governed by geometric Brownian motion. The first investor i to seize the opportunity receives the entire payoff, V-Ci. We characterize the symmetric Bayesian Nash equilibrium for this game. A laboratory experiment confirms the model's main qualitative predictions: competition drastically lowers the value at which investment occurs; usually the lowest-cost investor preempts the other investors; observed investment patterns in competition (unlike monopoly) are quite insensitive to changes in the Brownian parameters. Support is more qualified for the prediction that markups decline with cost. (JEL C73, D44, D82, G31)

description: Can marriage institutions limit marital inefficiency? We study the pervasive custom of watta satta in rural Pakistan, a bride exchange between families coupled with a mutual threat of retaliation. Watta satta can be seen as a mechanism for coordinating the actions of two sets of parents, each wishing to restrain their son-in-law. We find that marital discord, as measured by estrangement, domestic abuse, and wife's mental health, is indeed significantly lower in watta satta versus "conventional" marriage, but only after accounting for selection bias. These benefits cannot be explained by endogamy, a marriage pattern associated with watta satta. (JEL J12, J16, O15, O18, Z13)

However, principals may also delegate tasks to avoid taking direct responsibility for selfish or unethical behavior. We report three laboratory experiments in which principals repeatedly either decide how much money to share with a recipient or hire agents to make sharing decisions on their behalf. Across several experimental treatments, recipients receive significantly less, and in many cases close to nothing, when allocation decisions are made by agents. (JEL D82)
