From @SherryLakkineni @warwickecon: "Innovations and Work: Accessing the Impact of Automation on Labour Outcomes through a Cross-country and Cross-Industry Analysis"

[Carroll Round @CarrollRound]

This paper uses cross-country, cross-industry data over a period of 25 years (1995-2020) to explore the relationship between technological change, as proxied by TFP growth, on two types of labour outcomes: aggregate employment and labour share of value added

From @arianagam11 @columbia_econ: "When Banks Hit the Ceiling: The Effects of Interest Rate Caps on Microcredit Provision in Colombia"

[Carroll Round @CarrollRound]

Interest rate caps highly impact the proportion of microcredit in the market and the monthly flow of microloans in Colombia, suggesting caps are binding across interest rate levels. Also, separate interest rate ceilings in heterogenous credit markets enhances access to credit.

From Eric Gao @Stanford: "Quantity Limits on Addictive Goods"

[Carroll Round @CarrollRound]

Regulations of addictive goods often feature limits on possession or consumption. This paper analyzes the welfare effects of such limits though a model of cue-triggered decision-making with endogenous choice of quantity consumed, and identifies when quantity limits are beneficial
