Unemployment Insurance and Occupational Switching.
Abstract: “In this paper, I study the relationship between unemployment benefits and occupational switching. Using US data, I document two new facts. First, unemployed individuals who are eligible to higher unemployment benefits are less likely to switch occupation. Second, I show that conditional on switching occupation, individuals with higher unemployment benefits exit to occupations with higher requirements of cognitive skills. I then build a search model with heterogenous workers and jobs to study how unemployment benefits affect skill requirements and wages for workers who experience employment-unemployment-employment transitions. I find that mismatch between the worker’s skill and requirements decreases as unemployment benefits increase.”

Changing the incentive to pollute: Heterogeneous effects of waste pricing policies

Changing the incentive to pollute: Heterogeneous effects of waste pricing policies.
Abstract

The externalities of household waste generation and treatment can be internalized with policies pricing unsorted waste disposal known as Pay-As-You-Throw (PAYT). To internalize pollution externalities of municipal waste, Pay-As-You-Throw (PAYT) pricing of unsorted waste are adopted worldwide. Using machine learning methods on a unique high-dimensional data panel of Italian municipalities, this paper estimates PAYT causal effects on municipal unsorted, recycling, and total waste heterogeneously with respect to a large set of municipal characteristics. I derive a household waste generation model that predicts effect heterogeneity, and I employ an R-learning random forest estimator that accounts for possibly endogenous adoption. Results show that PAYT is on average effective, decreasing unsorted waste per capita up to -60%, an effect driven by households preferring recycling (+41%) over total waste reduction. Both adoption and compliance are found to be heterogeneous in pre-policy waste levels, and explained by complex interactions of covariates. Continuous treatment analysis shows a modest and time-varying price elasticity of waste demands. Social costs savings are positive, and predicted to increase if all municipalities were to introduce the policy.
