Yet, evidence on how monitoring deployment affects perceived detection probabilities and—by extension—compliance, is sparse. Beginning in May 2020, pandemic-related protocols in Maricopa County, Arizona, required routine health inspections to occur by video-conference at food establishments with vulnerable populations (e.g., hospitals and nursing homes). Unlike conventional on-site inspections—which continued at most food establishments—these “virtual” inspections were scheduled in advance, and thus, easily anticipated. The virtual format also likely inhibits observation of some violations, further reducing detection probability. Tracking five violations that are detected by tests in both inspection formats, I find evidence of substantial anticipation-enabled detection avoidance. Comparing against contemporaneous on-site inspections, virtual inspections detect 53% fewer of these specific violations relative to pre-treatment levels, and that decrease reverses entirely when treated establishments are subsequently inspected on-site. Detected counts of all violations decrease 39% in virtual inspections. Consistent with general deterrence, this decrease is <em>more</em> than offset in establishments’ first post-treatment on-site inspections, where detected counts exceed the pre-treatment average by 25%. Deterrence-effect heterogeneity suggests a simple dynamic policy could improve overall compliance with existing agency resources.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48409,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Economic Behavior & Organization","volume":"236 ","pages":"Article 107084"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-06-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144330185","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}

Taking China’s macroprudential assessment (MPA) framework in 2015 as a quasi-natural experiment, our difference-in-differences identification utilizes two-dimensional variations: firms’ reliance on bank financing (i.e., high versus low) and year (i.e., before and after 2015). We find that the MPA framework significantly reduces firms’ access to bank credit, and a one standard deviation increase in firms’ bank dependence lowers the amount of available bank credit by 23.9%. In particular, corporate debt maturity becomes shorter as a result of decreasing long-term debt relative to short-term debt and constrained firms experience a stronger negative credit effect than unconstrained firms, which is consistent with the credit supply theory. Moreover, the decreased bank credit is more pronounced when firms face higher risk, rely more on small banks, and are located in cities with greater growth pressure. In addition, firms experience production shrinkage and bank risk-taking declines. We argue that the MPA framework curbs credit growth while helping to maintain financial stability, providing valuable insights into the economic effects of macroprudential policies in a typical emerging market.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48409,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Economic Behavior & Organization","volume":"236 ","pages":"Article 107111"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-06-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144297121","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}

We leverage pre-determined village-level social group compositions, where some villages are relatively more homogeneous than the others, to examine subsequent diffusion of agricultural technology following the initial, randomized seeding over the next five years. There are two main take-away. First, modest overall difference in adoption between treated and control villages is largely explained by the degree of heterogeneity in village-level social composition. Second, we observe immediate diffusion among non-recipient farmers in the same social group as the initial, treated recipients and limited diffusion among groups with lower social ranks. These findings highlight the potential efficiency and equity limitations of randomized seeding of new technology in a context with market frictions and limited trade across social groups.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48409,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Economic Behavior & Organization","volume":"236 ","pages":"Article 107088"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-06-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144291258","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}
