Geographic Cross-Sectional Fiscal Spending Multipliers: What Have We Learned? (2019, background): “Thus, if the cross-sectional multiplier based on spending in one local area understates the national zero lower bound multiplier, the crosssectional multiplier based on increasing spending in a randomly chosen half of all U.S. states would further understate the national multiplier.”
Successful Austerity in the United States, Europe and Japan (2012, unknown): “Inspired by work from Corsetti et al. (2009, 2010), for example, Cimadomo, Hauptmeier and Sola (2012) show, estimating a structural (non-cycle-dependent) VAR on U.”

Law Enforcement, Municipal Budgets and Spillover Effects: Evidence from a Quasi-Experiment in Italy (2017, background): “Interestingly, Acconcia et al. (2014) provided both anecdotal and empirical evidence on the effect compulsory administration has on public decisions showing that provinces with at least one council dismissal reduce”
Natural Experiments in Macroeconomics (2015, unknown): “The first one, used in the paper by Acconcia et al. (2014), is an Italian law specifying the dismissal of elected local officials and their replacement with three external commissioners for 18 months upon evidence of Mafia infiltration in city councils.”
