TL;DR: Using community and individual-level data from Moldova, this article showed that the emigration wave that started in the late 1990s strongly affected electoral outcomes and political preferences in Moldova during the following decade, eventually contributing to the fall of the last Communist government in Europe.
Abstract: Migration contributes to the circulation of goods, knowledge, and ideas. Using community and individual-level data from Moldova, we show that the emigration wave that started in the late 1990s strongly affected electoral outcomes and political preferences in Moldova during the following decade, eventually contributing to the fall of the last Communist government in Europe. Our results are suggestive of information transmission and cultural diffusion channels. Identification relies on the quasiexperimental context and on the differential effects arising from the fact that emigration was directed both to more democratic Western Europe and to less democratic Russia.

TL;DR: In a Perspective review, Andrew Haldane, executive director for financial stability at the Bank of England, and ecologist Robert May look at the nature of risk that led to the recent global crisis in the international banking system.
Abstract: A growing body of literature deals with the application of theories developed in other disciplines to financial institutions, to which a paper in this issue now adds. As outlined here, however, views differ as to its relevance. See Perspective p.351
In a Perspective review, Andrew Haldane, executive director for financial stability at the Bank of England, and ecologist Robert May look at the nature of risk that led to the recent global crisis in the international banking system. Utilizing tools more often used to analyse ecological food webs and the spread of infectious diseases, they conclude that there are lessons to be learned from the exercise that could inform future public policy decisions.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors apply an alternative approach which is less demanding, based on the concept of temporary growth accelerations suggested by Hausmann, Pritchett and Rodrik.
Abstract: It continues to be heavily disputed whether foreign aid promotes economic growth in developing countries. In most cross-country regressions, aid is considered effective only if it shifts recipient countries to a significantly higher and sustainable growth path. We apply an alternative approach which is less demanding, based on the concept of temporary growth accelerations suggested by Hausmann, Pritchett and Rodrik. In assessing what can reasonably be expected from the donors' modest aid efforts, we do not only employ aggregate aid data but we also differentiate between major aid categories, including grants, loans and so-called short-impact aid. It turns out that aid flows have a small but significantly positive effect on the conditional probability of growth accelerations. This result holds across different estimation methods. Short-impact aid is found to be more effective in this respect, while we reject the view that grants are superior to loans. To the contrary, we find a stronger effect of loans. Furthermore, aid has become more effective during the second half of our sample. Typically, however, the significance of results crucially depends on the criteria applied to identify growth accelerations.

TL;DR: The authors studied the employment effects of one of the largest forced population movements in history, the influx of millions of German expellees to West Germany after World War II, and found that the displacement effect was highly nonlinear and limited to labor market segments with very high inflow rates.
Abstract: This article studies the employment effects of one of the largest forced population movements in history, the influx of millions of German expellees to West Germany after World War II. This episode of forced mass migration provides a unique setting to study the causal effects of immigration. Expellees were not selected on the basis of skills or labor market prospects and, as ethnic Germans, were close substitutes to native West Germans. Expellee inflows substantially reduced native employment. The displacement effect was, however, highly nonlinear and limited to labor market segments with very high inflow rates.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigate the relationship of the new wave of digitalization of occupations with entry into different types of entrepreneurship in the United States, including entry into digital entrepreneurship, and provide evidence that digitalization is significantly associated with entrepreneurial entry at the individual level.
