Language as a Strategic Choice—Drawing Global Research Talent by Switching to English [Paper; an older version is available on SSRN]
Abstract We show, using a difference-in-difference identification, that introducing English as the official language of instruction in a degree program increases the average journal impact factor (JIF) of new international faculty hires in Dutch and Belgian universities by 12-20%. These results are robust to a battery of controls including university and time fixed effects as well as university specific time trends. We argue that switching to English reduces labor mobility barriers, allowing universities in non-English speaking countries to recruit from the global talent pool.

"Disparties in Pollution Capitalization Rates: the Role of Direct and Systemic Discrimination" with Gregor Singer [Paper]
Abstract We examine how exogenous changes in exposure to air pollution over the past two decades have altered the disparities in home values between Black and White homeowners. We find that air quality capitalization rates are significantly lower for Black homeowners. In fact, they are so much lower that, despite secular reductions in the Black-White pollution exposure gap, disparities in housing values have increased during this period. An exploration of mechanisms suggests that roughly one-quarter of this difference is the result of direct discrimination while the remaining three-quarters can be attributed to systemic discrimination through differential access to complementary amenities.

"Broadband and Innovation", by C. Cambini (Politecnico di Torino), P. Murro (LUISS, Rome), L. Sabatino (Politecnico di Torino), F. Schivardi (LUISS, Rome) e F. Sobbrio (Univ. Tor Vergata, Rome)
Abstract "How advanced digital technologies affect firm’s incentives to innovate? This paper investigates the causal impact of broadband Internet on innovation using data from Italy. Thanks to web-scraped data from the European Patent Office, we identify patents with Italian inventors and allocate them across Italian municipalities based on inventors’ address. Our identification strategy exploits the staggered roll-out of DSL-based broadband connections starting from 2005, as well as the diffusion of the most recent fiber-based ultra-broadband connections started in 2015. Our results point to an increase in innovation from broadband Internet, as measured by the number of new patents, both in the first and second wave of broadband deployment."

"Forced Displacement, Mental Health, and Child Development: Evidence from the Rohingya Refugees" Asad Islam, Tanvir Ahmed Mozumder, Tabassum Rahman, Tanvir Shatil, Abu Siddique [Paper]
Abstract Forced displacement is a major driver of mental disorders among refugees worldwide. Poor mental health of adult refugees, particularly mothers, is also considered a risk factor for the psychological well-being and development of their children. In this study, we experimentally examine the extent to which a multifaceted psychosocial program improves the mental health of refugee mothers, and facilitates growth and development among children under the age of two. In partnership with BRAC, we ran a cluster randomized controlled trial on 3,500 Rohingya mother-child dyads in refugee camps in Bangladesh. Participants were given weekly psychosocial support for 44 weeks through peer volunteers, which includes psychoeducation and parenting support for mothers and play activities for both mothers and children. The intervention was largely successful and led to: (i) reductions in the psychological trauma and depression severity of mothers and children, (ii) improvements in communication, gross-motor, and problem-solving skills of children, and (iii) reductions in stunting and severe stunting. The intervention cost about $1 per dyad per week and is currently being scaled up in refugee camps in Bangladesh, where about seventeen thousand mother-child pairs now benefit from it.

"Welfare Gains from LCD Innovations, 2001–2011" with Shoki Kusaka, Jeff Qiu, Tuyetanh L. Tran
Abstract We assess the welfare impact of new technologies by using detailed data from theglobal industry of liquid crystal display (LCD) panels. We focus on measuring bothproductivity growth via process innovation and consumer benefits from new products.We find process innovation accounted for most of the welfare gains in the computersegment, whereas product innovation played a major role in the TV segment. Wefurther decompose process innovation into vintage capital and learning by doing, andproduct innovation into larger products and other new varieties. We then conduct aseries of benefit-cost analyses to quantify the social and private returns on technologicalinvestments. Results suggest social returns were large, but most firms’ private returnswere small or negative; competitive pressure forced them to invest nevertheless.
