| A city-wide experiment on trust discriminationOriginal Research ArticlePages 15-27 Armin Falk, Christian Zehnder | Purchase $31.50 |
Highlights
► We provide field experimental evidence on trust discrimination at the city level. ► Trust varies substantially depending on the residential district of the trading partner. ► We identify economic status as the main determinant of trust discrimination. ► There is an in-group effect in trust discrimination: people trust more if their partner lives in the same district. ► The in-group effect is, at least partly, driven by more accurate beliefs about behavior of in-group members.
| Small business set-asides in procurement auctions: An empirical analysisOriginal Research ArticlePages 28-44 Jun Nakabayashi | Purchase $31.50 |
Highlights
► Many governments set aside procurement contracts for small businesses. ► We examine how much set-asides increase government procurement costs. ► We find that many small businesses would exit the procurement market without set-asides. ► The resulting lack of competition would raise government procurement costs,more than offsetting production cost inefficiency.
| Endogenous gentrification and housing price dynamicsOriginal Research ArticlePages 45-60 Veronica Guerrieri, Daniel Hartley, Erik Hurst | Purchase $31.50 |
Highlights
► We document substantial variation in house price growth within a city. ► We develop a model that links house price growth and gentrification. ► A key ingredient in our model is individuals like to live next to richer neighbors. ► Richer neighborhoods expand at borders when positive city-wide demand shocks occur. ► We find strong empirical support for the model's predictions.
