Firms as liquidity providers: Evidence from the 2007-2008 financial crisis
Using a supplier-client matched sample, we study the effect of the 2007-2008 financial crisis on between-firm liquidity provision.

We integrate research on family business and discontinuous change to better explain why incumbents vary in when and how they adopt discontinuous technologies. Family influence induces companies to strive for continuity, command, community, and connections, and thus alters the mix of constraints under which firms operate. Consequently, family influence weakens several of the inertial...

This paper demonstrates the identification of causal mechanisms of a binary treatment under selection on observables, (primarily) based on inverse probability weighting. I.e., we consider the average indirect effect of the treatment, which operates through an intermediate variable (or mediator) that is situated on the causal path between the treatment and the outcome, as well as the...

Treatment Evaluation in the Presence of Sample Selection
Sample selection and attrition are inherent in a range of treatment evaluation problems such as the estimation of the returns to schooling or training.
