Presentado por: Manisha Shah.

Abstract:
Adolescents in Sub-Saharan Africa have some of the highest rates of intimate partner violence across the globe. This paper evaluates the impact of a randomized controlled trial that offers females a goal setting activity to improve their sexual and reproductive health outcomes and offers their male partners a soccer intervention, which educates and inspires young men to make better sexual and reproductive health choices. Both interventions reduce female reports of intimate partner violence. Impacts are larger among females who were already sexually active at baseline. We develop a model to understand the mechanisms at play. The soccer intervention improves male attitudes around violence and risky sexual behaviors. Females in the goal setting arm take more control of their sexual and reproductive health by exiting violent relationships. Both of these mechanisms drive reductions in IPV.

El Centro de Investigación Económica (CIE), te invita al seminario: " A Model of Expenditure Shocks"
Presentado por: Daniel Murphy (Darden, UVA).
El seminario se llevará a cabo el 31 de octubre de 14:00 a 15:30 horas en la Sala de Seminarios de Santa Teresa.
Abstract:
We introduce a new quantitative model of household expenditure shocks to rationalize the common anecdote of a low-income and low-liquidity household that uses additional income to save (repay debt) rather than consume. Our model also rationalizes key features of the joint dynamics of household-level consumption and income, including our finding that consumption is volatile yet disconnected from income. The key feature of our model is stochastic consumption thresholds that yield large utility costs if violated. The stochastic thresholds increase the welfare cost of income fluctuations by an order of magnitude.

Presentado por: Lucia del Carpio (INSEAD)

Abstract:
Tax collection by capacity constrained governments may exhibit multiple equilibria: if delinquency is low, limited enforcement capacity is enough to discipline deviators; if delinquency is high, limited enforcement capacity is overstretched and no longer dissuasive. In principle, divide-and-conquer, a theoretically important but untested principle
from mechanism design, can be used to unravel the undesirable high-delinquency equilibrium. We investigate the challenge of doing so in practice.
Our preferred mechanism takes the form of Prioritized Iterative Enforcement (PIE). Tax-payers are assigned a rank trading-off expected collection and expected capacity
use. Tax-payers are then iteratively threatened in small groups for which collection capacity is sufficient to induce compliance. After repayment occurs, unused collection
capacity is released to issue the next round of threats.
In partnership with a district of Lima (Peru) we experimentally evaluate the impact of PIE on the collection of property taxes from 13432 tax-payers. Reduced-form evidence both validates and refines the theoretical benchmark. A structural model of tax-payer behavior suggests that, keeping the number of collection actions fixed, PIE would increase tax revenue by 11.3%.
