    Kim LEHRER (Oxford University) : Gender Differences in Labour Market Participation: Evidence From Displaced People's Camps in Northern Uganda
    Abstract
    This paper uses a unique data set and the exogenous nature of the conflict and resulting displacement in Northern Uganda to examine their impacts on labour market participation. I find that the longer the existence of the Internally Displaced People's camp to which individuals moved, the less men work. In contrast, women's labour market decisions are not influenced by the age of the camp in which they live. I argue that these responses stem from the development of gender-specific social norms. A decline in the percentage of men working in a camp significantly reduces the probability that a given man works.

    Marc BELLEMARE (Duke University) : The Welfare Impacts of Price Fluctuations and Stabilization
    Abstract
    Many governments throughout history have tried to stabilize commodity prices based on the widespread belief that households – especially the poor – value price stability. We extend the existing microeconomic literature to derive an estimable matrix of the coefficients of price risk aversion and associated willingness to pay measures over multiple commodities. Using longitudinal household-level data from Ethiopia, we estimate that the average household would be willing to pay about 20 percent of its income to stabilize at their means the prices of the seven most important staples in the data. We further show that the welfare gains from price stabilization would be concentrated in the upper half of the income distribution , making price stabilization a regressive policy in this context

    David ATKIN (Yale University) : Trade, Tastes and Nutrition in India.
    Résumé
    This paper introduces habit formation into an otherwise standard model of international trade. Household tastes evolve over time to favor foods consumed as a child. In autarky, households prefer foodstuffs that are locally abundant and thus relatively inexpensive. The opening of trade causes a rise in the price of these preferred goods. Neglecting the correlation between tastes and agro-climatic endowments systematically overstates the short-run nutritional gains from agricultural trade liberalization, as consumers are less willing to substitute into cheaper imports than they would be without habit formation. I examine the predictions of this model of trade with habit formation using household survey data from India, where internal agricultural trade remains highly restricted. I identify tastes with the unexplained regional variation in household demand for agricultural products and find that regional tastes favor food crops that are well-suited to local agro-climatic conditions. I predict that the liberalization of internal agriculture trade in India will generate short-run caloric losses unless income gains from trade are relatively large, and that there would be no such losses if tastes were identical across the country. I also examine the consumption patterns of inter-state migrants, and find that they consume fewer calories for a given level of food spending than otherwise similar consumers. This effect only disappears two generations after migration, as tastes adjust to local prices. These findings, which reflect the higher prices of preferred origin-state goods in the migrant's destination state, further corroborate the assumptions of my model.

    Michael GRIMM (Institute of Social Studies) : Endogenous Institutional Change and Economic Development: A micro-level Analysis of Transmission Channels
    Résumé
    Endogenous Institutional Change and Economic Development: A micro-level Analysis of Transmission Channels* *Abstract *There is a well-known debate about the role of institutions in explaining the long-term development of countries. We believe there is value-added to consider the institutions hypothesis at the micro level within a country to analyze the exact transmission channels linking endogenous institutional change to development outcomes. Given the central importance of agricultural productivity improvements for initiating the process of economic development, we focus on the transmission mechanisms that lead to the emergence of institutions relevant for agricultural development, thereby incorporating insights from the literatures on demographic influences of institutional change, induced innovations, as well as the central role of land rights in our analysis. Our main argument is that in conditions of relative land abundance, geographic factors influence rural-rural migration flows to geographically well-endowed regions which in turn give rise to migration-induced land scarcity. Land scarcity in turn, provides incentives to formalize landownership. Eventually, formalized land rights increase investment in land and enhance the adoption of new and better technologies promoting agricultural growth and economic development. We provide empirical evidence for this hypothesis using longitudinal village and household survey data from Indonesia.

    Ekaterina ZHURAVSKAYA (New Economic School, Moscou) : Elite Capture in the Absence of Democracy: Evidence from Backgrounds of Chinese Provincial Leaders. _
    Abstract
    Using panel data on Chinese provinces over 27 years, we show that local public policy to a large extent is determined by the background of provincial leader, i.e., provincial party secretary. Provinces under the leadership of party secretaries who built their careers within the province have higher public goods provision and are less predatory towards business. The magnitude of these differences is large even after controlling for fiscal incentives and career concerns of provincial leaders, province and time fixed effects; as well as after taking in to account the possibility of endogeneity of appointments using instrumental variables. We show that the results are not driven by the differences in local knowledge or innate preferences of provincial leaders. We interpret our findings as the effect of ``elite capture'' in the absence of local democracy. Party secretaries who made their careers within the province, in contrast to the ``outsiders,'' have implicit contracts with local elites, who helped them to power, to deliver benefits to them, some of which come in the form of public goods. Formally provincial leaders in China are accountable only to the center and are given strong incentives to deliver economic growth, possibly, at the expense of local public goods provision. ``Elite capture,'' i.e., the implicit contracts of provincial leader and local elite, serve as an imperfect substitute to otherwise absent local accountability mechanism.

    Emily OSTER (University of Chicago) : Determinants of Technology Adoption: Private Value and Peer Effects in Menstrual Cup Take-Up
    co-écrit avec Rebecca Thornton
    Abstract
    We estimate the role of benefits and peer effects in technology adoption using data from randomized distribution of menstrual cups in Nepal. Using individual randomization, we estimate causal effects of peer exposure on adoption; using differences in potential returns we estimate effects of benefits. We find both peers and value influence adoption. Using the fact that we observe both trial and usage of the product, we examine the mechanisms driving peer effects. We find that peers matters because individuals learn how to use the technology from their friends, but that they do not affect individual desire to use the cup.
