    I study the effect of limited attention on resource allocation by venture capitalists. Using engagement in the IPO process as a measure of distraction, I document that investments made by distracted venture capitalists into new portfolio companies tend to underperform. Such companies are 7% less likely to go public or get acquired, and also exhibit lower exit multiples. The adverse effect of the attention constraints is present only in the vicinity of the distracting IPO and manifests itself both for individual partners and venture capital funds. Overall, the results indicate that the scarcity of attention hypothesis holds in the context of deal sourcing and screening in venture capital, highlighting the presence of skill in the company selection process

    Bank leverage constraints can emerge from regulatory capital requirements as well as from central bank collateral requirements in reserve lending facilities. While these two channels are usually examined separately, we are able to compare them with the help of a bank money creation model in which central bank reserves have to be acquired to settle interbank liabilities. In particular, we show that with regard to bank monitoring, monetary policy via collateral requirements leads to a unique collateral leverage channel, which cannot be replicated by standard capital requirements. Through this channel, banks can expand loan supply and deposit issuance when they face liquidity constraints, by raising the collateral value of their loans with tighter monitoring of firms. The collateral leverage channel can improve welfare beyond standard bank capital regulation. Our results may inform current policy debates, such as the design of central bank collateral frameworks or the question whether monetary policy remains effective in times with large central bank reserves.

    In recent decades, information and communication technology (ICT) has been associated with far-reaching changes in the design of jobs. However, it still remains unclear whether these changes will lead to more centralization or more decentralization in firms. Previous literature on this debate has focused on a strict dichotomy between the two possible directions. In contrast, our theoretical and empirical analyses show that equipping employees with ICT leads to both more centralized and more decentralized job-design policies. This finding is particularly pronounced for executive employees, who are granted more work autonomy but also experience more control via stronger monitoring, while non-executive employees only experience more monitoring without receiving more work autonomy. Our theoretical setting is based on a modified principal-agent model. In our empirical approach we apply estimation models that account for both endogeneity and essential heterogeneity, thereby exploiting exogenous geographic variation in our instrumental variable.

    Anonymous and unannounced site inspections known as "Mystery Shopping" (MS) are common in multi-site service firms, but little is known about the strategic importance of this practice. We conceptualize MS as a monitoring tool firms use to implement the optimal allocation of site resources between sales- and service-related activities in the presence of cross-site reputation spillovers, which is to maximize sales while maintaining service standards. Consistent with this view, data from three retail chains reveal (i) low variation in MS scores, (ii) little correlation of MS scores with sales, and iii) high correlation of sites' MS scores with the likelihood of their supervisors receiving incentive bonuses. Our findings are robust to different estimation specifications, and shed new light on a ubiquitous yet little-studied management practice.

    We investigate the causal effect of conversations about performance and performance pay implementing a 2x2 field experiment in a retail chain. In the performance pay treatments, managers receive a bonus for profit increases. In the performance review treatments, managers have regular meetings with their supervisors discussing their activities to increase profits. We find that review conversations raise profits by 7%-8%. However, when additionally receiving performance pay this effect vanishes. Analyzing an extension of Bénabou and Tirole (2006), we rationalize this effect formally and provide empirical evidence that the use of performance pay changes the nature of conversations undermining their value.

    We investigate how negatively reciprocal traits of unemployed individuals interact with "sticks" policies imposing constraints on individual job search effort in the context of the German welfare system. For this we merge survey data of long-term unemployed individuals, containing indicators of reciprocity as a personality trait, to a unique set of register data on all unemployed coached by the same team of caseworkers and their treatments. We find that the combination of a higher negative reciprocity and a stricter regime have a negative interaction effect on search effort exerted by the unemployed. The results are stronger for males than for females. Stricter regimes may therefore drive long-term unemployed males with certain types of social preferences further away from the labor market.

    The bio-economy is gaining increasing prominence in the policy debate, with several countries developing bio-economy strategies to decouple economic growth from dependence on fossil fuel, as well a pathway to supporting some of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and commitments under the Paris Climate Agreement. This report analyses the opportunities and policy challenges facing the bio-economy in transitioning to a more sustainable agro-food system. It provides an overview of national bio-economy- strategies based on a literature review and information provided by governments in response to a questionnaire.

    In the context of restrictive immigration regimes and nationalist-populist politics, the international humanitarian obligation to consider migrants’ claims for political asylum presents states with especially difficult challenges related to "vetting" and "monitoring" migrants. Given that these conditions are unlikely to end any time soon, some authors have suggested solutions to information asymmetries that might lead to effective and more humane outcomes to asylum and refugee crises. This paper evaluates one such proposal, the idea that migrants from "disfavored classes" be admitted in "circles of trust," groups of five or six people which could be held collectively responsible for the bad behavior of any individual member in the context of refugee and migrant policy in contemporary Argentina. Specifically, the paper compares a plan for Syrian refugees in place since 2015, and the reception of large numbers of Venezuelans since 2014. The paper concludes that "circles of trust" are fraught with perils, but that other non-traditional forms of vetting and monitoring might sometimes be humane and useful in particular situations.

    The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) recently adopted by the United Nations represent an important step to identify shared global goals for development over the next two decades. Yet, the stated goals are not as straightforward and easy to interpret as they appear on the surface. Review of the SDG indicators suggests that some further refinements can be made to their wordings, and their underlying objectives can be further clarified. We bring attention to potential pitfalls with interpretation, where different evaluation methods can lead to different conclusions about country performance. Review of the United Nations’ SDG database highlights the overwhelming challenge with missing data: data are available for just over half of all indicators and for just 19 percent of what is needed to comprehensively track progress across countries and over time. We offer further reflections and propose some simple but cost-effective solutions to these challenges.

    In the German unemployment insurance system, Integration Agreements (IA) are mandatory contracts between the employment agency and the unemployed, jointly signed by the latter and the caseworker. IAs stipulate rights and obligations but are generally perceived as instruments to control search behavior. We designed and implemented a Randomized Controlled Trial involving thousands of newly unemployed workers, where we randomize the timing of the IA as well as the extent to which this timing is announced prior to the meeting. Randomization is at the individual level. We use administrative registers to observe outcomes. A theoretical analysis of anticipation of prior announcements provides suggestions to empirically detect this. The results show that IAs early in the spell have on average a small positive effect on entering employment within a year. When classifying individuals using an employability indicator, we find that this result is driven by individuals with adverse prospects. Among them, being assigned to an early IA increases the probability of re-employment within a year from 45% to 53%.

    This paper investigates the impact of monitoring institutions on market outcomes in health care. Health care markets are characterized by asymmetric information. Physicians have an information advantage over patients with respect to the appropriate treatment for the patient and may exploit this informational advantage by over- and underprovision as well as by overcharging. We introduce two types of costly monitoring, endogenous and exogenous. When monitoring detects misbehavior, physicians have to pay a fine. Endogenous monitoring can be requested by patients, whereas exogenous monitoring is performed randomly by a third party. We present a toy model that enables us to derive hypotheses and to test them in a laboratory experiment. Our results show that introducing endogenous monitoring reduces the level of undertreatment and overcharging. Even under high monitoring costs, the threat of patient monitoring is sufficient to discipline physicians. Introducing exogenous monitoring also reduces undertreatment and overcharging when it is performed sufficiently frequently. Market efficiency increases when endogenous monitoring is introduced as well as when exogenous monitoring is implemented with sufficient frequency. Our results, therefore, suggest that monitoring may be a feasible instrument to improve outcomes in health care markets.

    In this paper, we provide new evidence on the association of state ownership and tax planning and show that shareholders' monitoring incentives affect a firm's tax planning. Using the unique setting of the German corporate tax system, we distinguish between state owners that directly benefit from state-owned enterprises' (SOEs') income tax payments and those that do not. Our results indicate that the negative association between state ownership and tax planning is concentrated in SOEs where the state owner directly benefits from the tax payments. These results are robust to various specifications and suggest that shareholders' monitoring incentives are a determinant of firms' tax planning activities

    Ziel dieses Berichts ist die Darstellung der - im Rahmen des Dialogforums Groß- und Einzelhandel, unter Mitwirkung der teilnehmenden Handelsunternehmen - erhobenen Daten zu Lebensmittelverlusten im Handelssektor in Deutschland für das Jahr 2019. Darüber hinaus sollen die Erkenntnisse der Erarbeitung einer Zielvereinbarung im Dialogforum Groß- und Einzelhandel (im Rahmen der Nationalen Strategie zur Reduzierung der Lebensmittelverschwendung) dienen. Im Dialogforum arbeiten die teilnehmenden Unternehmen gemeinsam darauf hin, dass das Nachhaltigkeitsziel 12.3 der Agenda 2030 (Halbierung der weltweiten Lebensmittelverschwendung pro Kopf auf Einzelhandels- und Verbraucherebene) erreicht werden kann. Der vorliegende Bericht dokumentiert den aktuellen Stand der Arbeiten im Dialogforum mit Ergebnissen des Lebensmitteleinzelhandels (LEH); die Zahlen des Lebensmittelgroßhandels sollen im nächsten Bericht ergänzt werden. Die Berechnungen basieren auf freiwillig bereitgestellten Daten zu Umsatzverlusten (Abschreibungen) aus 13 Unternehmen des LEH sowie Cash und Carry Unternehmen1, die durch etwa 13.000 Verkaufsstellen repräsentiert werden. Die beteiligten Unternehmen decken einen Marktanteil des gesamten LEH in Deutschland von etwa 35 % ab2. Abschreibungen beinhalten sowohl Lebensmittelabfälle als auch umverteilte Lebensmittel, bspw. in Form von Lebensmittelspenden z.B. an soziale Einrichtungen oder für die Verwertung als Tierfutter sowie Bruch und Verlust. Die Daten unterscheiden nicht zwischen vermeidbaren und unvermeidbaren Lebensmittelabfällen. Zudem geben sie keine Auskunft über die tatsächliche Verwertung der im LEH nicht verkauften Lebensmittel, da die Erfassung buchhalterischen Zwecken dient. Die Hochrechnung der Abfälle an Lebensmitteln im deutschen LEH basiert auf einer sehr hohen Datenqualität; mit Abschreibungsdaten teils sehr großer Unternehmen und Umsatzzahlen des gesamten Sektors. In diesem Bericht wird erstmals in Deutschland der gesamte LEH berichtet (siehe Kapitel 4). Die Lebensmittelabfälle im gesamten LEH liegen für das Jahr 2019 hochgerechnet bei etwa 500 Tausend Tonnen, welche ungefähr 1,5 % des Lebensmittelumsatzes abbilden. Die hier ermittelten Lebensmittelabfälle betragen 290 Tausend Tonnen im organisierten LEH und 210 Tausend Tonnen im anderen LEH. Eine Abgrenzung der Lebensmittelabfälle von Lebensmittelspenden und anderer Verwertung (z.B. zu Tierfutter), ist aufgrund von Datenlücken derzeit nur mithilfe von Schätzungen möglich - Expertenschätzung für diesen Bericht: 30 % der Verluste werden gespendet. Im Zuge weiterer Arbeiten müssen diese Mengen und die Verlustursachen analysiert werden, um daraus Reduzierungsmaßnahmen abzuleiten. The aim of this report is to map food waste in the retail and wholesale sector in Germany for the year 2019 collected as part of the Dialogue Forum on wholesale and retail trade, with the participating retail companies. In addition, the findings regarding the data basis and data collection process are intended to support the development of an accord by the participants in the Dialogue Forum on Wholesale and Retail (as part of the National Strategy to Reduce Food Waste). In the Dialogue Forum, the participating companies work together to ensure that the sustainable development goal 12.3 (halving global food waste per capita at retail and consumer level) can be achieved. This report documents the current status of the work in the Dialogue Forum with results from the food retail sector; the figures from the food wholesale sector will be added in the next report. The calculations are based on voluntarily provided data on sales losses (markdowns) from 13 food retail and Cash and Carry companies represented by approximately 13,000 points of sale3. The participating companies cover a market share of the total retail trade in Germany of about 35 %4. Markdowns include both food waste and redistributed food, such as food donations or as animal feed, as well as breakage and loss. The data do not distinguish between preventable and non-preventable food losses. In addition, they do not provide information on the actual recovery of food not sold at the retail store, since the data collection serves accounting purposes. The extrapolation of food waste for the German retail food sector is based on a high data quality; with markdown data of partly very large companies and sales figures of the entire sector. In this report, the entire food retail is reported for the first time in Germany (see chapter 4). Food waste in the entire retail sector is projected at around 500 thousand tons for 2019, which represents about 1.5 % of food sales. The food waste identified here is 290 thousand tons in organised food retail and 210 thousand tons in the extended food retail. Due to data gaps, it is currently only possible to distinguish food waste from food redistribution (i.e. food donations) and other utilisation (i.e. animal feed) based on estimates - expert estimate for this report: 30% of losses are donated. In the course of further work, these quantities and the causes of losses must be analysed in order to derive measures for reduction.

Moreover, monitoring cultivates the average worker: There are fewer high performers and the variance in performance is significantly reduced. Importantly, we show that performance reductions primarily occur among challenging tasks. These performance reductions significantly increase unit costs in our setting. This effect is particularly severe when challenging tasks have high marginal value, as in high-performance work systems or when tasks are complementary inputs into the production function.
