TL;DR: This article investigated parochial altruism, the combination of in-group altruism and out-group hostility, in an experimental conflict game preceded by a prisoners' dilemma, and found that the data are consistent with parochially altruism but cannot be explained by ingroup pro-sociality or outgroup hostility alone.

TL;DR: Several new techniques for dealing with the Steiner problem in (undirected) networks are presented, including heuristics that achieve sharper upper bounds than the strongest known heuristic for this problem despite running times which are smaller by orders of magnitude.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors make use of the regional variation in schooling legislation within the German secondary education system to estimate the causal effect of central exit examinations on student performance and propose a difference-in-differences framework that exploits the quasi-experimental nature of the German TIMSS middle school sample and discuss its identifying assumptions.
Abstract: This paper makes use of the regional variation in schooling legislation within the German secondary education system to estimate the causal effect of central exit examinations on student performance. We propose a difference-in-differences framework that exploits the quasi-experimental nature of the German TIMSS middle school sample and discuss its identifying assumptions. The estimates show that students in federal states with central exit examinations clearly outperform students in federal states without such examinations. However, only part of this difference can be attributed to the existence of the central exit examinations themselves. Our results suggest that central examinations increase student achievement by the equivalent of about one-third of a school year. (JEL: D02, H42, I28)

TL;DR: It is shown that small sized public pensions stimulate per capita income growth, but further increases in public pensions eventually reduce it, and fertility, on the other hand, falls by an increase in public pension if they are either small or large.
Abstract: Employing an overlapping generations endogenous growth model in which parents derive utility from having children and, additionally, expect children to support them in old age, this paper explores the interrelation between growth, fertility, and the size of pay-as-you-go financed public pensions. It is shown that small sized public pensions stimulate per capita income growth, but further increases in public pensions eventually reduce it. Fertility, on the other hand, falls by an increase in public pensions if they are either small or large. Medium sized public pensions, however, may stimulate fertility.
