Wealth is highly concentrated and largely inherited in countries such as Spain, Italy, Austrian and Germany. Inheritances and gifts play a considerably smaller role in net wealth in countries such as Portugal, Hungary or Latvia.

Cool Cities: The Value of Urban Trees
(Forthcoming Article) - As urban populations grow, more people face extreme heat, increasing demand for natural cooling. Urban trees offer various amenities, including cooling benefits, yet their economic value is hard to quantify. This paper estimates the implicit value of urban trees by exploiting the Emerald Ash Borer infestation caused by an invasive beetle that kills ash trees in Toronto as an exogenous shock. We find that a onepercentage- point increase in a postcode’s tree cover raises property prices by 1.13% and reduces exposure to extreme heat, pollution, and energy consumption. These findings underscore trees as a cost-effective, practical strategy for mitigating urban warming.

loading . . .
The First 1,000 Days and Beyond: The Process of Child Development
(Forthcoming Article) - This paper reviews recent research in the economics of human development, focusing on the early years of life as a critical period for shaping long-term outcomes. Early childhood development is inherently multidimensional: cognitive and socioemotional skills evolve dynamically and interact with health, nutritional, and environmental influences. Economists have contributed to this field by providing a conceptual and unifying framework that highlights how key drivers of development reflect the choices of individuals operating under both incentives and constraints. The paper emphasizes two central challenges: understanding the interactions among multiple dimensions of development and identifying causal links, particularly the effects of different inputs at different ages. Measurement issues are a recurring theme, given the difficulty of assessing young children and the need for comparability across contexts. By discussing early childhood interventions in both developed and developing countries, the paper also stresses these issues’ policy relevance for poverty reduction and social mobility.
