An Evaluation of Protected Area Policies in the European Union

Tristan Grupp, Prakash Mishra, Mathias Reynaert, and Arthur A. van Benthem

The European Union designates 26% of its landmass as protected areas, limiting economic development for biodiversity. We use the staggered introduction of protected areas between 1985 and 2019 to study the selection of protected land and the causal effect of protection on vegetation cover and nightlights. We find no meaningful impacts on either outcome across four decades, countries, protection cohorts, or land characteristics.

The Long Shadow of Housing Discrimination: Evidence from Racial Covenants

Aradhya Sood and Kevin Ehrman-Solberg

Racial covenants in housing deeds were widely used in the United States during the early 20th century to segregate neighborhoods. In 1948, the Supreme Court decision in Shelley v. Kraemer made racial covenants unenforceable in court, stopping short of prohibiting them entirely. We surmise that even after losing their judicial enforceability, such covenants could have shaped segregation if they served as a focal point for coordination on an initial equilibrium in neighborhood formation, a context characterized by investment durability and path dependency.

Structural Change in Production Networks and Economic Growth

Paul Gaggl, Aspen Gorry, and Christian vom Lehn

We study structural change in production networks for intermediate inputs (input-output network) and new capital (investment network). For each network, we document that the share of output produced by services (relative to goods) is rising over time. While the relative prices of services that produce intermediates and consumption are rising, we find that the relative price of services that produce investment is falling over time.

The Selective Disclosure of Evidence: An Experiment

Agata Farina, Guillaume Fréchette, Alessandro Ispano, Alessandro Lizzeri, and Jacopo Perego

We conduct an experimental analysis of selective disclosure in communication. In the model, an informed sender aims to influence a receiver by disclosing verifiable evidence that is selected from a larger pool of available evidence. Our experimental design leverages this model’s rich comparative statics, allowing us to systematically quantify the effects of selection relative to concealment.
