FERNANDEZ-SANCHEZ Martin (PSE) : Mass Migration and Education over a Century: Evidence from the Galician Diaspora in Latin America
Résumé
This paper analyzes the impact of mass migration on human capital accumulation at origin over a century. I examine one of the largest migration episodes in the XX century, the Galician diaspora in Latin America. Using data from different historical sources I build a unique database of all Galician villages from 1860 to today with information on migration, literacy rates, migrants' associations and their investments at origin. The identification relies on exogenous variation provided by pull and push factors in combination with a proxy of migrant networks. The results show that in the period 1900-1930, migration significantly increased literacy rates due to the selection of illiterate individuals into migration and an increase in the stock of literate ones. I provide suggestive evidence that literate migrants were more likely to return. Historical migration (1900-1930) is associated with more schools per capita and higher enrolment rates in the 1970s as well as higher schooling levels over 1981-2011. These findings are largely explained by the construction of schools by migrants' associations in 1910-1940 and by a change in perceptions about the value of education.

TARAZ Vis (Smith College) : Climate change, social protection, and crop yields: Evidence from India
*
Résumé
India’s National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (NREGA), the world’s largest public works program, has been demonstrated to have beneficial impacts on a wide range of outcomes, but its effects on agricultural productivity have been relatively understudied (Sukhtankar, 2017). I test whether NREGA modulates the impact of adverse weather shocks on agricultural yields. My empirical strategy exploits the staggered roll-out of NREGA and random fluctuations in weather. Using nationwide data, I find evidence that NREGA makes yields more sensitive to adverse weather shocks. The effects are most pronounced for labor-intensive crops, indicating that labor market effects may drive my results. My results suggest that the household-level consumption-smoothing benefits of NREGA must be balanced against the challenges to national food security that India faces, particularly in the face of climate change. Hence, implementing complementary programs such as investing in improved seed varieties, expanding extension services and promoting farm mechanization is critical.

Do women suffer more abuse from their partners during times of economic hardship? We address this inquiry by exploring whether and how exposure to rainfall shocks affects violence against women in rural Peru, where agriculture constitutes the main economic activity and crop yields largely depend on weather realizations. We fi nd sizable impacts: exposure to an event of drought (but not flood) during the last rainy season increases the prevalence of physical violence perpetrated by male partners against women by 65 percent. Moreover, we find that women are 60 percent more likely to suffer physical trauma from the abuse -- a result that is caused by the experience of more frequent, but not more severe, violent acts. These results may be explained by two underlying mechanisms: a decline in the time couples spend together that results from changes in spouses' employment patterns and that increases suspicion towards women and an increase in stress levels that leads to undesired behaviors such as alcohol-use disorders and alcohol-related aggressions from men.

NAVARRETE H. Nicolas (Paris School of Economics ) : Money can buy me life. The Effect of a Basic Pension on Mortality: a Regression Discontinuity Design
Résumé
We estimate the effect of a permanent income increase for poor elderly on their health outcomes. Our regression discontinuity design exploits an eligibility cutoff in a Chilean basic pension program that grants monthly payments of 40 percent of the minimum wage to pensionless retirees. Four years after applying, pension recipients are 2.5 percentage points less likely to die. Effects are concentrated on pension recipients living without working-age relatives, who in turn have more children. This seems explained by pre-existing income transfers from working-age relatives to retirees, which cease when payments begin. Results suggest that increasing income for older individuals reduce health inequalities across income groups, and mitigate the intergenerational transmission of poverty by alleviating the financial burden on younger relatives.

MEHMOOD Sultan : Judiciary’s Achilles Heel: Executive Control via Appointment Power
Résumé
To what extent does the presidential appointment of judges in the superior courts impact judicial decision making? We document a substantial increase in judicial independence and reduced case delay in Pakistan, as a result of a judicial selection reform in 2010 that changed the selection procedure of the judges from the president appointing the judges to the selection of judges by a judicial commission. Using mandatory retirement age as an instrument for new appointments, we are able to estimate the causal effect of the new appointment procedure on judicial independence and case delay. Better enforcement of laws regulating land disputes with government agencies is the key mechanism driving these results. We further show that the judges selected under the new procedure are significantly less likely to be politically active prior to their appointments or receive the controversial “Prime Minister’s Assistance Package” (that awards residential plots to the judges). The new judges who did accept the package are more likely to rule in favour of the government.

Résumé
We examine the impacts on education of the rapid growth of FDI jobs in Vietnam between 2000 and 2008. We exploit the variation in timing of FDI job growth across provinces in Vietnam. Using cohort analysis from census data we demonstrate that FDI has mixed effects on years of schooling that depend critically on the exact specification. We supplement this analysis with nationally representative individual panel data that allows us to observe individual-level transitions from attending school to not attending school. We find evidence of an increase in school attendance in response to FDI jobs, but mixed evidence on the highest grade completed.

VARELA Liliana (PSE) : Financial Liberalization, Competition and Productivity
Résumé
Cross-country studies associate financial liberalization with increases in aggregate productivity. This paper argues that this finding can be mainly attributed to reductions in distortions in capital markets that promote competition and encourage firms' investments in technology. I first develop a simple small open economy model in which capital controls distort access to international borrowing. I show that this distortion can affect market competition and firms’ innovation incentives. Financial liberalization removes this distortion and fosters investments in technology through two forces. First, better credit conditions encourage firms that gain access to international funds to raise their innovation efforts. Second, their market rivals respond to the threat of competition by innovating more. In my empirical analysis, I test the implications of the model using firm-level census data around the deregulation of international financial flows in Hungary. I exploit differences in the access to international borrowing prior to the reform as a source of cross-sectional variation. The results confirm that firms that gain access to international funds increased their productivity and their probability of undertaking innovation activities. I provide direct evidence that this is due to greater use of external funds. Responding to the tighter competition, their market rivals also increased their investments in technology. Tougher competition is also observed in reductions in markups, industry concentration, and productivity and markup dispersions within sectors. At the macro level, a decomposition exercise shows that, reversing the previous pattern of growth, the increase in within-firm productivity explains the bulk of the expansion aggregate productivity growth following the liberalization.

ROGGER Dan (University College of London) : The Causes and Consequences of Political Interference in Bureaucratic Implementation: Evidence from Nigeria
Résumé
Both politicians and bureaucrats are claimed as crucial to development and growth. This paper investigates key margins of interaction between these groups. Using data from the Federal Government of Nigeria, I study how political incentives influence which organizations politicians delegate to. Second, I collect surveys of a representative sample of civil servants from these organizations, and use them to investigate whether politicians follow up this delegation by directly engaging with bureaucrats. I find that politicians facing political competition delegate to more effective organizations, and engage with bureaucrats more intensively. Finally, I use evaluation data on the implementation of 4493 public projects implemented by these organizations to assess how delegation and engagement affects project implementation. I find that delegation to agencies isolated from political interference improves project completion rates by roughly a third. The impacts of political engagement vary by the extent to which politicians face political competition. When politicians face low levels of competition, their engagement with bureaucrats retards project implementation significantly. When they face high political competition, the excesses of their negative behavior are constrained analogously to how market competition constrains the excesses of firm activity. The findings provide micro-level evidence of the changes in politician behavior that are induced by political competition, and the subsequent impacts on project implementation.

LOPEZ-AVILA Diana (PSE) : Time Allocation within poor households: who benefit from a safety net?
Co-autheur(s) : Alice MESNARD (City University)
Résumé
This article studies the within household time re-allocation generated by a social program in rural Colombia, differentiating the impact on children who lag behind in school. Children lagged behind in school tend to decrease their time in school activities and increase that in work with time, effect that is offset by the program. Results indicate that the program increases time spent at school activities equally for all type of children, though decreases time spent in income generating activities only for those lagged behind in school. At analyzing parents' time allocation, substitution in work activities comes from the mother rather than from the father, driven by households where the mother participates in the labor market.

MURARD Elie (PSE) : Family left behind, labor supply and household productionTheory and evidence from Mexican migration
Résumé
Why and how should the migration of a household member affect the labor supply of the family left behind ? This paper provides a simple theoretical framework to reconcile previous apparently conflicting results. Assuming a unitary model of the family and that migration is motivated only by earnings differential, I show first that migration reduces the wage labor of members left behind but can also increase their self-employed labor such as farm work. Second, that the family left behind does not increase its farm labor enough to offset completely the decrease in inputs of farm labor induced by the out-migration of a household member. Consequently, the total labor input on the farm, as well as the production output, declines ; or remains unchanged. Using an original panel data from the Mexican Family Life Survey and instrumental variable estimation, I find that families reduce their participation (and hours) in wage work (non agricultural) and increase their self-employed labor (especially farming) in response to the international migration of a household member in the U.S. . This increase in self-employed work is not associated with an increase in the household production output or labor input. The estimates additionally suggest that U.S. migration does not increase the acquisition (or expenditures) of non-labor agricultural inputs (livestock, fertilizers, pesticides, seeds...). These results are consistent with the predictions of the model.

BRODEUR Abel (PSE, LSE, IZA) : The Remnants of War: Sex industry in Thailand
Co-author(s) : Warn N. Lekfuangfu (UCL) et Yanos Zylberberg (CREI, UPF)
Résumé
This paper explores whether part of the sex industry in Thailand is explained by the presence of U.S. military personnel during the Vietnam War. We rely on prostitution data at a disaggregated level reporting the number of sex workers and the type of establishments and on data sets indicating the U.S. military bases in Thailand, contracts between locals and the U.S. Army as well as the bilateral transfers between the two countries. We find that this sudden demand boom during the war had long-run local effects on the sex industry. There is a positive relationship between the current number of sex workers and the location of U.S. military bases during the war. We examine historical evidence and exploit the presence of non U.S. military bases and the distance to the war front to verify that our results are not driven by selection or omitted variables. The evidence suggests that the current comparative advantage of Thailand in the sex industry may be explained by the evolution of norms and by the role of economies of scale. We then rely on the local demand boom during the war to analyze the economic consequences of the sex industry on other outcomes such as women's education and the size of the informal sector.
