We introduce domain-specific discounting to a contracting model and test a strategy for improving incentives when people are impatient over effort: implement time-bundled contracts that make the payment for future effort increase in current effort. Using a randomized evaluation of an exercise incentive program among diabetics in India, we find that time-bundled contracts generate equivalent effort to time-separable contracts at 15 percent lower cost. Moreover, they perform 30 percent better among individuals with above-median effort impatience. Pooled across contracts, incentives increase steps by 20 percent and improve blood sugar relative to a control group.

After the program, we find no lasting impact on employment or behaviors, with only limited gains in earnings stemming from independent activities.

This paper estimates the long-run impacts of six landslides in Uganda on nearly the full affected population.

Years after the landslides, affected households earn 50 percent less income and are 18 percentage points less likely to report being satisfied with their lives. Further analysis points to social capital as a determinant of successful post-disaster recovery.

Our approach allows firms to act collusively against cartel members yet competitively otherwise. In these auctions, bidders submit initial bids and can later revise them downward. As initial bids are shaded, close initial bids indicate similar costs and thus create strong incentives to undercut rivals. We classify firm pairs as collusive if they ignore this incentive by failing to update bids against each other, relative to other pairs with similarly close initial bids. Our algorithm predicts Ukraine's Antimonopoly Committee sanctions: Classified pairs are nine times more likely to be sanctioned.

Yet the causal effect of such policies on innovation is an open empirical question. Leveraging plausibly exogenous state-level changes in the enforceability of noncompete agreements (NCAs), we find a significant negative effect on innovation. This effect is even larger for the most novel and innovative patents and firms. Further analysis shows these negative effects on innovation cannot be explained by entry alone and instead likely result from reduced knowledge flows. Our findings suggest that labor mobility plays a crucial role in spreading knowledge across firms.
