Life Out of the Shadows: The Impacts of Regularization Programs on the Lives of Forced Migrants
We examine the well-being effects of a regularization program offered to half a million Venezuelan forced migrants in Colombia. We collected data on more than two thousand such migrants and compared the well-being of those who arrived in Colombia before and after the date that defined program eligibility.
Risk Gravity
We consider the canonical trade model with heterogeneous firms, love for variety and trade costs, and integrate it in the consumption CAPM model. This yields a structural gravity equation that includes an additional factor related to risk premia. Empirical evidence based on firm-level data confirms the importance of cross-sectional heterogeneity in risk and time-varying risk premia to shape bilateral trade flows.
