This paper contributes to the literature on the demand for health-related products and home care by also considering substitution between goods produced at home by oneself and those produced by one's spouse or partner. It is argued that marriage market variation such as variation in individual traits of partners/spouses or in sex ratios and changes in laws about marriage or divorce may affect demand for health-related goods and home care by relatives.","PeriodicalId":72114,"journal":{"name":"AEA papers and proceedings.

How should sanctions account for the presence of such bystanders? I study this question in a simple trade model where a sanctioning country places tariffs on imports from a sanctioned country in the presence of a neutral third country. Optimal tariffs-as-sanctions are lower on goods that the sanctioner can import from bystanders. On goods that the sanctionee can export to bystanders, tariffs-as-sanctions are higher given an elasticity of (excess) supply to the sanctioner but lower given a total elasticity of supply.","PeriodicalId":72114,"journal":{"name":"AEA papers and proceedings.

The average treatment effect on the treated is a decrease of 5.7 percentage points in the risk of ever attempting suicide if HRT is started between the ages of 14 and 17, which amounts to a 14.4 percent reduction in the risk of attempting suicide relative to the pretreatment mean.","PeriodicalId":72114,"journal":{"name":"AEA papers and proceedings.

Chinese firms use global tax havens to access foreign capital in both equity and bond markets. In the last 20 years, China's presence went from raising a negligible amount of capital in these markets to accounting for more than half of equity issuance and around a fifth of global corporate bonds outstanding in tax havens. Using rich micro data, we show that a range of Chinese firms, including both tech giants and state-owned enterprises, use these offshore centers. We conclude by discussing the macroeconomic and financial stability implications of these patterns.","PeriodicalId":72114,"journal":{"name":"AEA papers and proceedings.

We establish that inherited histories significantly positively affect initial scores, which in turn are very persistent. Inherited histories only affect outcomes through initial credit scores, which then have significant persistent effects on credit use and access, such as having a mortgage. Our results are consistent with mechanisms of self-fulfilling liquidity traps: low credit scores mean lack of access to credit, reinforcing low credit scores. Future research should address the contribution of such mechanisms to wealth inequality.","PeriodicalId":72114,"journal":{"name":"AEA papers and proceedings.
