Human Capital Investment and Development: The Role of Onthe- Job Training
(Universidad Torcuato Di TellaPeking UniversityUniversity of Connecticut, 2022)
Workers in richer countries experience faster rates of wage growth over their lifetimes than
workers in poorer countries. We offer an explanation for this pattern by showing that
workers in richer economies receive more ...
Optimal Carbon Offsets with Heterogeneous Regions
(Universidad Torcuato Di Tella, 2024-02-08)
We study optimal climate policy in a global economy where regions differ in wealth
and vulnerability to climate change. Carbon emissions from production generate out-
put losses - a negative climate externality - and a ...
The Potential Footprint of Plant- Based Meat Adoption on Leading Crop Producers
(Universidad Torcuato Di Tella, 2023-12-30)
Plant-based meat (PBM) has the potential to improve the global food supply chain
on numerous environmental and societal dimensions. Some of these gains, derived
from lower animal meat production, could disrupt the supply ...
Political Uncertainty and the Geographic Allocation of Credit: Evidence from Small Businesses
(Journal of Money, Credit and Banking (e-ISSN:1538-4616), 2024-05-23)
We investigate how banks change the geographic distribution of their small
business loan portfolio when they face political uncertainty in some of the
states where they operate. Using exogenous variation in gubernatorial ...
Comparing experience- and description-based economic preferences across 11 countries
(Nature Human Behaviour (e-ISSN: 2397-3374), 2024-06-14)
Recent evidence indicates that reward value encoding in humans is
highly context dependent, leading to suboptimal decisions in some
cases, but whether this computational constraint on valuation is a
shared feature ...
Outcome context-dependence is not WEIRD: Comparing reinforcementand description- based economic preference worldwide
(Universidad Torcuato Di Tella, 2023-03-02)
Recent evidence indicates that reward value encoding in humans is highly context-dependent, leading to suboptimal decisions in some cases. But whether this computational constraint on valuation is a shared feature of human ...
Promoting Erroneous Divergent Opinions Increases the Wisdom of Crowds
(Universidad Torcuato Di Tella, 2024)
The aggregation of many lay judgements generates surprisingly accurate estimates. This phenomenon,
called the “wisdom of crowds”, has been demonstrated in domains such as medical decision making and
financial forecasting. ...

Analysis of a generalized Linear Ordering Problem via integer programming
(Discrete Applied Mathematics (e-ISSN: 1872-6771), 2019-12-01)
We study a generalized version of the linear ordering problem: Given a collection of
partial orders represented by directed trees with unique root and height one, where
each tree is associated with a nonnegative reward, ...
Crime and violence: Desensitization in victims to watchingcriminal events
(Universidad Torcuato Di TellaJournal of Economic Behavior & Organization (e-ISSN: 1879-1751), 2019)
We study desensitization to crime in a lab experiment by showing footage of criminal acts
to a group of subjects, some of whom have been previously victimized. We measure biological
markers of stress and behavioral indices ...
