Advising against inefficiency
I examine a setting where two imperfectly informed senders use cheap talk communication to sequentially advise receivers taking part to a game of contribution to a public bad. The first sender aims at maximising social welfare, the second at increasing inefficiency. Because the receivers' game is inefficient, the first sender is biased towards the outcome of the receivers' game. I show that no truthful revelation is possible and that the second sender always lowers social welfare. In particular, because of the second sender, the first sender can be better off not maximising information transmission.

Can immigration affect human capital mobility? Lessons from the recent migratory wave in Chile.
I estimate how immigrants can affect the causal relation of place on human capital mobility. I first study whether the place has a role in the test score that a primary student can achieve by studying movers across municipalities. Exploiting variation in the grade at which each child moves, I observe that students converge to the place to which they move linearly. On average, moving students converge - considering convergence as the reduction of the gap between the stayers from the origin versus destination - at approximately a rate of 10% per year. Then, I evaluate whether these results can be led by confounders by running different overidentification tests. These findings provide the basis for estimating the place effect of each municipality. Finally, I evaluate whether the role of place on human capital mobility change over time with the arrival of new immigrants.
