How does financial support affect job-seeker participation in adult vocational training? To answer this question, I focus on a 2019 reform in France using a triple-differences methodology that exploits variation over regions, time, and eligibility. Increased monthly financial support only increases training starts when coupled with an upfront training grant. This is primarily driven by courses preparing for further training. Using a novel dataset with information on absenteeism, I find that only increasing the monthly training grant results in more missed hours of training, suggesting at least some job-seeker trainees are credit-constrained.

Profits of extractive companies are strongly linked to commodity prices, but little is known on the distribution of those windfall profits along their global value chains. We investigate how fluctuations in profits arising from commodity price changes are distributed worldwide using a multi-country unconsolidated firm-level database matched with production data covering a large number of extractive firms from 2012 to 2022. We find that the profits of subsidiaries located in tax havens are more elastic to changes in commodity prices compared to other subsidiaries. This elasticity is larger when commodity prices increase compared to price decreases. Our results hold when taking into account sector differences between countries.

Over the past decade, around 100 jurisdictions have signed automatic exchange of bank information agreements (AEOI) in an effort to battle cross-border tax evasion. This paper uses account data leaked from an Isle of Man bank to study the effectiveness of these agreements. We establish three sets of results. First, we find that AEOI treaties do not legally cover a large share of assets held offshore. These legal loopholes mean that a large share of offshore users is actually not subject to any reporting requirement. Second, we observe that banks in charge of reporting appear to correctly identify most reportable accounts and to communicate this information truthfully to tax authorities. The quality of reporting is better for individual accounts than for company accounts, either because of complexity or because of non-compliance by the bank. Third, we find evidence that clients of the bank who were more at risk of being reported on preemptively closed their accounts, potentially circumventing the AEOI reporting process. This paper sheds light on the design flaws of AEOI agreements, and provides new evidence on how sophisticated individuals ultimately avoided this new transparency shock.

Can the written word spark resistance against an autocratic state? To explore this question, we delve into Russian literature from its Golden Age, assessing how Russian literature may have fueled violent dissent against the State. We provide evidence that penetration of the magazine, notably carrying works of Russian literary giants that called for democratic change, intensified violent attacks against the Czar’s regime. Utilizing the “circle of Alexander Pushkin,” the legendary Russian poet and founder of the magazine, as a source of quasi-random variation in magazine’s spread in the early years and controlling for the pre-treatment density of writers in each mudnicipality, we show the relationship is likely causal. An instrumental variable strategy, focusing on the spread of the magazine through “haphazard” or “one-off” encounters with Pushkin, provides further causal leverage to our findings. Exploration of mechanisms suggests that the magazine inspired a new generation of Russian writers to write for political change. We test for and find evidence against several threats to identification. Overall, our findings underscore that Russian literature, one of recorded human history’s greatest literary triumphs, wielded a profound influence, serving as a catalyst for political violence and fueling the flames of resistance against the repressive Russian State.
