This post actually covers two weeks, but here's what caught my eye in research over that time (which was fairly quiet!):
- Voigtländer and Voth (with ungated earlier version here) find that the building of the Autobahn network in Nazi Germany boosted popular support for Adolf Hitler, helping to entrench the Nazi dictatorship
- Chetty et al. (with ungated earlier version here) present the latest output from their research on opportunity and intergenerational mobility, a public atlas of mean outcomes in adulthood by childhood census tract in the US
Also new from the Waikato working papers series:
- Buckle, Ryan, and Song examine how firm price-setting behaviour has evolved across episodes of high inflation, including the recent COVID-19 inflation episode, finding that the proportion of firms changing prices has become more highly correlated with inflation since the high inflation episodes of the 1970s and 1980s, meaning that the Phillips Curve has become more nonlinear at higher levels of inflation and that the inflation accelerator operates more strongly than in the past
