This paper measures the impacts of Indonesia’s palm oil export expansion on district poverty and household expenditure from 2002 to 2015.

US-China commercial rivalry is quantified with novel non-parametric sufficient statistics. China's manufacturing seller incidence falls (seller price rises) 8.2\% yearly as its sales share quadruples, 2000-14. US seller incidence rises 6.3\% yearly as US sales share halves.

This paper uses detailed firm-product-country-level export data to examine how an anti-dumping action affects a multiproduct firm’s price and quantity decisions across its other products and export destinations.

This paper integrates daytime and nighttime satellite imagery into a spatial general-equilibrium model to evaluate the returns to investments in new motorways, using publicly available imagery to evaluate India’s road construction projects in the early 2000s.
