This week in research #135

Here's what caught my eye in research over the past week:

  • Katz and Jung (open access) estimate the macroeconomic impact of generative AI using cross-country data over the period 2022 to 2025, finding that generative AI contributed to increasing the productivity of most workers, regardless of their education, contract type, full or partial work time, and vulnerability level
  • Dills and Raghav (with ungated earlier version here) find that state legalization of recreational marijuana in the US substantially reduced arrests and disciplinary incidents for drug law violations on college and university campuses
  • Wang and Wong find an overall negative association between financial literacy and use of Buy-Now-Pay-Later services in the US
  • Funahashi and Cardazzi (with ungated earlier version here) find that sports stadiums increase the value of nearby properties in Japan
  • Sayre (with ungated earlier version here) finds no evidence that Airbnb entry leads to a substantial increase in eviction filings overall, but that there is a modest increase in eviction filings in neighbourhoods with a high poverty rate and/or a high concentration of renter households
  • Hampole, Truffa, and Wong (with ungated earlier version here) find that female MBAs are 24 percent less likely than male MBAs to enter senior management within 15 years of graduation, and that having a larger proportion of female MBA section peers increases the likelihood of entering senior management for women but not for men
