The paper introduces a computational inter-regional input–output framework to assess the economic impacts of river floods in Italy. The model leverages a georeferenced database of productive plants built from the ASIA-local units database. By aligning plant coordinates with inundation maps, it enhances the identification of affected units, their associated water depth, and the shock caused to sectors’ productive capacity. To demonstrate the utility of this approach, we apply it to the major flood event that struck Emilia-Romagna in May 2023, quantifying both direct and indirect economic losses from business interruptions across sectoral, regional, and national levels.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48409,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Economic Behavior & Organization","volume":"230 ","pages":"Article 106896"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143102897","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}

We find systematic and substantial differences by gender in choice of graduate field, even when taking account of the exact undergraduate programme attended and a large set of controls measuring academic interests and aptitudes. Female graduates are less likely to do further study in STEM fields and more likely to enter teaching and health programmes. When we explore the effect of these choices on early career gender gaps in earnings, we find that they tend to exacerbate earnings gaps. Even after accounting for the exact undergraduate programme and detailed school subject choices and grades, the choice of graduate programme can explain about 20% of the gender earnings gap at age 33 for persons who pursued a graduate degree.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48409,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Economic Behavior & Organization","volume":"230 ","pages":"Article 106882"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143102901","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}

While the gender gap in the effect of local political experience on winning a higher-level election also favors women, it is not precisely estimated. The gender difference in the effect of winning a state legislature seat is larger when serving in positions that closely resemble the responsibilities and workload of higher-level positions.

We use the SWF's announcement to vote against firms with insufficient sustainability performance in an event study comprising 1,169 portfolio firms headquartered in Europe. The results show an average negative reaction of USD 39.99 million to the announcement. The negative effect is concentrated in portfolio firms with low sustainability performance measured by Refinitiv's environmental, social, and governance (ESG) score. Focusing on the SWF's voting share, we find that firms with low sustainability performance <em>and</em> a high voting share experience the most negative market reaction. Notably, the moderating effect of ESG score uncertainty becomes apparent, as firms with both low sustainability performance <em>and</em> low ESG score uncertainty experience more pronounced negative stock market reactions. In contrast, firms with low performance <em>and</em> high uncertainty show no statistically significant effect. Several robustness tests—including a regression discontinuity in time design—confirm our results. Overall, our findings reveal that broad-based public sustainability engagement can exert pressure on European portfolio firms, suggesting that this form of indirect engagement complements direct engagement strategies in their objective to enhance firms’ sustainability performance.

We study the role of ToM ability in fostering cooperation in the Simultaneous and Sequential Prisoners Dilemma (PD) games. We theoretically examine multiple models of social preferences and find that the relationship between ToM ability and cooperation is complex and sensitive to subtle changes in context such as population characteristics, beliefs, and the sequencing of moves. To resolve the theoretical uncertainty, we conduct a series of experiments to test how ToM influences cooperation in one-shot PD interactions. We find that differences in ToM ability are not correlated with cooperation in Simultaneous PD, but that higher ToM ability is correlated with increased cooperation in Sequential PD. Moreover, ToM ability affects cooperation via accuracy in beliefs about others’ cooperativeness rather than an association with fixed preference traits. Finally, we show that when direct inference of emotional states is possible, individuals with high ToM ability are better at recognizing the potential cooperativeness of others, thereby enabling a payoff advantage to having high ToM. Overall, our paper demonstrates how individual-level differences in ToM help to explain differences in cooperativeness.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48409,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Economic Behavior & Organization","volume":"230 ","pages":"Article 106895"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143102895","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}
