The Economic Effects of a Value Added Tax Increase at an International Frontier
écrit avec Cristobal Dominguez
This research studies the effects of a value added tax reform at Mexico's international frontiers. The reform rised the VAT rate from 11% to 16% at localities close to the international borders. We find that the VAT hike had a positive effect on prices. The size of the effect is around half of the symetric pass-trough conterfactual. In addition, the reform had a negative effect on worker's wages with no effect on employment. This negative effect on worker's incomes does not apper to be smoothed out with credits. We also find evidence of negative effects on the demand VAT taxed products. We use a difference-in-difference approach were the treatment group is composed of localitites close to the international borders, and the control group is composed of localities close to the treated area. We test the robustness of our findings with different placebo groups.

Motivated Beliefs, Shame and Guilt across Cultures
The available evidence from anthropology, psychology, and economics shows that sensitivities to shame and guilt vary across cultures. So does the tendency to exhibit overconfidence. We develop a theoretical framework to analyze this variation, interpreted as reliance on different psychological incentive mechanisms.
We find that overconfidence and guilt are typically complementary, whereas shame can be a substitute for overconfidence.
