An analytical framework predicts that, in response to an exogenous increase resource-based government revenue, a benevolent will partially substitute away from taxing income, spending and save. Fifty-one years of US-state level data are largely consistent with this theory. A baseline fixed effects model that $1.00 resource revenue results $0.25 decrease nonresource $0.43 $0.32 savings. Instrumenting for reveals positive shock is saved the rest transferred back residents form lower tax rates....
Abstract We estimate the effect of unconditional cash transfers on voter turnout, leveraging a large‐scale natural experiment, Alaska Permanent Fund Dividend (PFD) program, which has provided residents with check varying size 1 month before election day since 1982. find that larger cause people to vote, especially in gubernatorial elections 10% increase ($190) causes 1.4 percentage point turnout. Effects are concentrated among young and poor. Survey data suggests mechanism is reduced apathy....
Feyrer, Mansur, and Sacerdote (2017) estimates the spatial dispersion of effects recent shale-energy boom by unconditionally regressing income employment on energy production at various levels geographic aggregation. However, producing counties tend to be located near each other receive inward spillovers from neighboring production. This inflates estimated effect own-county aggregation does not address this. We propose an alternative estimation strategy that accounts for these identify...
This study explores whether an oath to honesty can reduce both shirking and lying among crowd-sourced internet workers. Using a classic coin-flip experiment, we first confirm that substantial majority of Mechanical Turk workers shirk lie when reporting the number heads flipped. We then demonstrate be reduced by asking each worker swear voluntarily on his or her honor tell truth in subsequent economic decisions. Even this online, purely anonymous environment, significantly percent subjects...
Network slicing has been envisaged as a key enabler to satisfy diverse requirements of 5G networks, by creating multiple isolated end-to-end virtual networks dedicated different services. An accurate view these network slices is essential for both artificial intelligence (AI) driven slice orchestration, and data-driven automated service assurance. However, the existing open-source implementations core do not natively support Key Performance Indicator (KPI) monitoring. In this demonstration,...
The 5th Generation (5G) mobile networks support a wide range of services that impose diverse and stringent QoS requirements. This will be further exacerbated with the evolution towards 6th networks. Inevitably, 5G beyond must provide stricter, differentiated guarantees to meet increasing demands future applications, which cannot satisfied traditional human-in-the-loop service orchestration network management approaches. In this paper, we lay out our vision for closed-loop We extend MAPE...
Abstract World leaders have committed to a transition away from fossil fuels in the energy system. Yet
local communities across United States depend on fuel industries for high-paying
jobs and essential public services. Building economic resilience these will
increase likelihood of successful response climate threats help ensure that the
benefits burdens an are broadly shared.

Policy support fuel–dependent local economies is...
Are natural resources a curse or blessing? The answer may depend on how wealth is managed. By transforming temporary windfall into permanent stock in the form of sovereign fund, resource-rich economies can avoid volatility and Dutch disease effects, save for future generations, invest locally. We review theory behind these resource funds explore empirical evidence their success. Our complemented by case studies that highlight some more nuanced features, behavior, effects funds. While...
This paper considers the problem of mapping virtual links to physical network paths, referred as Virtual Link Embedding (VLE), under condition that bandwidth demands are uncertain. To realize with predictable performance, is required guarantee a bound on congestion probability paths embed links. this end, we consider general uncertainty model in which expressed by random variables for only mean and variance (or range) known. We formulate VLE nonlinear optimization program design an algorithm...
Resulting from a booming shale-energy sector, 2007 to 2014, income per capita in North Dakota increased 40%. Does this reflect the experience of few oil-rich counties, or were gains more evenly distributed across region? We find shale boom generated significant economic for counties above and near Bakken Shale Formation, but not those farther away. also document state-border effects, which are easily explained. Conditional on distance region, limited outward migration South Dakota, as...
Abstract Sudden shocks to labor demand have sometimes been shown increase local crime rates. We build on this literature by estimating the causal effect of labor‐intensive seasonal agricultural activity crime. analyze a unique data set that describes criminal and fruit, vegetable, horticultural (FVH) employment month U.S. county from 1990 2016. find FVH share is associated with reduced property violent rates, possibly number crimes committed within years. Examining heterogeneities based...
