Alesina Seminar - "Bureaucratic Incentives and Data Production: Evidence from Social Registries"

How do local politicians influence their constituents’ access to national means-tested social programs? I argue that they do so through personnel policy. Politicians rely on bureaucrats to maintain social registries—the administrative data used for means testing—and can therefore shape program eligibility by selecting and monitoring registry administrators to boost enrollment. Using social-registry microdata from Colombia and Brazil, I find that newly appointed bureaucrats do in fact exert more effort and classify more households as poor, in part because politicians monitor them more closely (as I find using an original survey of municipal registry administrators in Colombia)...

An enduring challenge in the political economy of elections is to construct a tractable model of two-candidate elections that accommodates multidimensional policy spaces, heterogeneous electorates, and mixed candidate motivations and simultaneously guarantees the existence of competitive pure-strategy Nash equilibria...

Reliable Inference for Matching Estimators with Control Reuse: A Single-Matching Variance Approach

Matching estimators are fundamental in causal inference for drawing population-level conclusions from observational data, yet reliable inference remains challenging. While recent methodological advances have developed asymptotically valid bootstrap procedures and robust standard errors for regression after matching, practical applications reveal severe undercoverage—sometimes missing nominal rates by 20 percentage points even with thousands of observations...
