We trace these turf wars to two concurrent shocks: the weakening of the PRI's long-standing dominance in local offices, and PROCEDE, the programme that converted PRI-dominated communal ejidos into individually titled parcels. By transforming untitled land into marketable property, PROCEDE made rural parcels far easier to acquire or extort. At the same time, opposition victories at municipal and state levels dismantled PRI-brokered protection networks, leaving incumbent cartels exposed. Together, marketable land and vanishing political cover created fertile ground for rival organizations to invade and clash. Using a difference-in-differences framework, we show that municipalities exposed to both shocks—the PROCEDE rollout and opposition victories—experienced a rise in organized-crime deaths during 1995–2006. The surge is strongest when an opposition mayor is elected in the same year that the governorship also turns against the PRI, signalling the collapse of protective networks. Cartel-presence data also reveal that these municipalities attract both first-time entrants and multiple rivals, confirming that violence stems from competition over newly contestable territories.</p>","PeriodicalId":48040,"journal":{"name":"Economica","volume":"93 369","pages":"86-112"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2025-09-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145646607","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using hedonic difference-in-differences models, we find that prices increase by £1000 for high-rated energy efficiency properties and decrease by £2400 for low-rated ones. Properties with higher potential energy efficiency also see value upticks. We also find that high gas-consuming neighbourhoods experience fewer house sales post-invasion. The size of the effect is explained by buyers perceiving the energy price hike as temporary.

Using Finnish administrative data, we identify the policy's impact on partial DI recipients by comparing them to rejected applicants with similar work histories, health impairments and work capacities. Based on our estimation results, automatic reinstatement of benefits may increase working among specific subgroups, but on average is not effective in increasing labour supply. To complement our empirical analysis, we model the perceived risk of losing eligibility for DI benefits as a type of adjustment friction in the institutional context where the budget set includes a notch, and use behavioural elasticity estimates from earlier literature to study the role of financial incentives. Counterfactual simulations reveal that financial incentives play a significant role in the effectiveness of automatic reinstatement of benefits, highlighting the interplay between financial and non-financial aspects of the DI system.</p>","PeriodicalId":48040,"journal":{"name":"Economica","volume":"93 369","pages":"1-29"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2025-08-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/ecca.70005","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145646659","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Do workers shift towards more social and abstract activities? This paper is the first to explore these questions in the context of robotization. We use survey data from 20 European countries to develop worker-level indices of physical, routine, abstract and social tasks, which we link to industry-level robotization exposure. Using instrumental variable techniques, we find that robotization reduces physically demanding tasks but increases routine tasks, while also limiting opportunities for cognitively challenging work and human interaction.

I find that there is a threshold level of revenues at and below which the official obtains bribes but does not steal revenues. She only starts stealing revenues above the threshold. In another setting, there are two political candidates (agents), each promising to allocate public spending to various groups of voters (principals), some of whom can pay bribes in exchange. Each candidate then uses the bribes and any government revenues that she expects to steal in office to buy some votes.
