• Crime and violence: Desensitization in victims to watchingcriminal events 

  Di Tella, Rafael; Freira, Lucía; Gálvez, Ramiro; Schargrodsky, Ernesto; Shalom, Diego E.; Sigman, Mariano (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 ...

• Analysis of a generalized Linear Ordering Problem via integer programming 

  Vulcano, Gustavo; Mendez-Diaz, Isabel; Zabala, Paula (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, ...

• Promoting Erroneous Divergent Opinions Increases the Wisdom of Crowds 

  Navajas, Joaquín; et al. (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. ...

• Outcome context-dependence is not WEIRD: Comparing reinforcementand description- based economic preference worldwide 

  Navajas, Joaquín (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 ...

  Navajas, Joaquín; et al. (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 ...

• Political Uncertainty and the Geographic Allocation of Credit: Evidence from Small Businesses 

  Penas, María Fabiana; Mâo-De-Ferro, Ana; Cerqueiro, Geraldo (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 ...
