The Effect of Traffic Safety Laws and Obesity Rates on Living Organ Donations (2009)
This paper uses variation in traffic safety laws and obesity rates to identify substitution patterns between living and cadaveric kidney donors. Using panel data from 1988-2008, we find that a 1%...
Model of the 2000 Presidential Election: Instrumenting for Ideology (2009)
Fernandez, Jose, Cataiefe, Guido

In this paper, I present an empirical model of learning under ambiguity in the context of clinical trials. Patients are concern with learning the treatment effect of the experimental drug, but face...
The Transit Light Curve (TLC) Project. VI. Three Transits of the Exoplanet TrES-2 (2007)
Holman, Matthew J., Winn, Joshua N., Latham, David W., O'Donovan, Francis T., Charbonneau, David, Torres, Guillermo, ...
Of the nearby transiting exoplanets that are amenable to detailed study, TrES-2 is both the most massive and the one with the largest impact parameter. We present z-band photometry of three transits...
This paper uses a two-year panel dataset on hospitals from the American Hospital Association (AHA) to evaluate the effect a policy change has on the marginal product of medical residents. A weighted...
