They stem from disruptions in the flow of intermediate goods that are complementary in downstream production. Re-matching displaced trade on the buy… arXiv — econ.GN (General Economics preprints) · 14 Jul 2026 Research & science Political Power in International Trade arXiv:2607.09990v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Economic power in international trade is the capacity of one country to impose loss on another by withdrawing from a trading relationship. This paper measures it. A model of the short run represents each trade restriction as a pattern of barred entries in the world matrix of input shares and maps it into a vector of losses by country and sector.

About three-quarters of those launches were on SpaceX's Falcon 9 vehicle, and roughly three-fifths of those Falcon launches deployed SpaceX's own Starlink constellation. A back-of-envelope Wright's law calculation suggests this increase in experi… arXiv — econ.GN (General Economics preprints) · 14 Jul 2026 Research & science Learning from an Unknown DGP: Experimental Evidence on Belief Updating with AI Recommendations arXiv:2607.10460v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We use a controlled experiment to study how beliefs are updated after receiving qualitative information (AI recommendations) from an unknown data-generating process (DGP). Across 60,252 pairs of prior and posterior beliefs, we document three behavioral patterns: updates close to zero when recommendations confirm extreme priors, larger updates when… arXiv — econ.GN (General Economics preprints) · 14 Jul 2026 Research & science Not All Family Firms Are Alike: How Founder-Led and Governance-Entrenched Family Control Shape the Trading Environment Around the Firm arXiv:2607.10876v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Family-firm scholarship offers competing predictions about whether family control protects or threatens market integrity. We argue that the answer depends on how family involvement is exercised. Drawing on socioemotional wealth and agency-entrenchment perspectives, we examine 8,634 U.S. firm-years (2007-2018) and link family-firm constructs to exc… arXiv — econ.GN (General Economics preprints) · 14 Jul 2026 Research & science When and Why Na\"ive Diversification Works: A Simple Diagnostic Strategy arXiv:2607.11054v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We explain the long-standing puzzle of na\"ive diversification with a simple, testable condition: equal weighting is minimum-variance optimal when the forecast-error covariance matrix has a uniform eigenstructure. This "Golden Criterion" drives a two-stage adaptive strategy that dynamically blends naive and optimized weights based on the empirical… arXiv — econ.GN (General Economics preprints) · 14 Jul 2026 Research & science Constraining to Motivate arXiv:2111.00522v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Effective decision-making often involves a principal delegating authority to better-informed agents. However, when agents'careers depend on how their decisions are perceived, they may avoid acquiring costly information and instead choose politically safe actions. We propose a simple solution: constrained delegation. By restricting the agent's … arXiv — econ.GN (General Economics preprints) · 14 Jul 2026 Research & science Factor-Biased Efficiency Gains from Exporting: Evidence from Colombia arXiv:2407.14016v4 Announce Type: replace Abstract: New exporters often adopt new technology, which may reorganize production rather than lift output uniformly, so efficiency gains can land unevenly across inputs. We examine such gains across worker types in Colombian manufacturing, 1981-1991. We develop a model of exporters that measures how efficiently firms use each input and grounds a compa… arXiv — econ.GN (General Economics preprints) · 14 Jul 2026 Research & science Advertising Spillovers in Mobile Apps: Evidence from Ad Shutoffs and Store Rankings arXiv:2504.16151v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Using advertising campaign data from a large US-based mobile game developer, the authors study a global advertising shutoff in the context of mobile app install ads. Contrary to prior studies in search advertising, which reveal a major over-attribution problem where paid advertising takes credit for organic traffic that would have occurred oth… arXiv — econ.GN (General Economics preprints) · 14 Jul 2026 Research & science Non-Take-Up of Unemployment Benefit II in Germany: A Longitudinal Perspective Using Administrative Data arXiv:2508.21535v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Extensive research demonstrates that many households eligible for means-tested benefits do not claim them, a phenomenon known as non-take-up. Long-term factors can substantially affect this decision. For example, households facing income instability may anticipate only temporary eligibility, increasing non-take-up. Past benefits experience can… arXiv — econ.GN (General Economics preprints) · 14 Jul 2026 Research & science The Role of Informal Care in Cognitive Outcome and Healthcare Utilization Among Older Adults with Dementia arXiv:2509.18468v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: This paper examines the relationship between informal caregiving and both cognitive functioning and healthcare utilization among older adults with dementia.

By applying large language models to historical newspapers, we create a comprehensive database of bank runs in U.S. history with information on 3,984 runs on individual banks from 1863 to 1934. Our novel data allow us to establish that runs are considerably more likely in weak banks but also o… arXiv — econ.GN (General Economics preprints) · 14 Jul 2026 Research & science Educational Mobility Across Multiple Generations in Indonesia arXiv:2604.19969v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Standard intergenerational measures have been shown to understate the long-run persistence of socioeconomic advantages in developed countries.

Improvements in AI productivity trigger labor reallocation and changes in absolute and relative wages for different types of labor. Wages of labor that is essential for building AI increase faster than overall GDP.
