Title: Industrialisation of the Alps
Authors: Hans Manner, Ferdinand Rauch, and Martin Schlesinger
Abstract: We study factors that facilitate the diffusion of technology following the Industrial Revolution. Our novel dataset covers parts of Central Europe with high spatial resolution from 1782 to 1930. Leveraging instrumental
variables and the staggered expansion of the railway network, we document that industrialization flourished particularly where transport infrastructure and resources coincided, highlighting strong complementarities between
these endowments. We show that coal mining served as the predominant driver of this relationship. We only find a negative relationship between pre-existing artisanal skills and railways in predicting growth. Finally, we demonstrate that electrification - though positively associated with growth - primarily reinforced existing patterns.

Title: Divide and Confer: Aggregating Information without Verification.
Here is a .
Abstract
We study mechanisms for aggregating information divided across a large population of biased senders. Each sender privately observes an unconditionally independent signal about an unknown state, so no sender’s report can be verified against another’s. A receiver makes a binary accept/reject decision whose payoffs depend on the state. Even though cross-verification is impossible, we show the receiver can benefit from informational division. We introduce a novel incentive-compatibility-in-the-large approach that studies optimal design via the large-population limit. For fixed population size, optimal mechanisms are in general complex. However, we show that in the limit they converge to a simple mechanism that depends only on the payoff from acceptance, and punishes excessive consensus in the direction of the common bias. These surplus burning punishments yield payoffs bounded away from the first best; the resulting inefficiency demonstrates how our concept of informational division is distinct from standard models of information in large populations.

CESifo Workshop: Digital Platforms - Methods, Policy and Politics
An event created in collaboration with the ifo Institute, ETH Zurich, CAGE, and the ÉñÂí¸£ÀûӰƬ.
The trade-offs between freedom of choice, speech, and political expression on one side, and societal welfare on the other, continue to challenge policymakers seeking to regulate digital platforms. This workshop focuses on recent advances in research on the design, regulation, and user benefits of digital platforms, as well as their broader societal implications. It will examine a wide range of platforms—including social media, streaming services, dating apps, digital marketplaces, and AI‑powered tools—and aims to inform policy debates across multiple contexts, with particular attention to the intersection of platform regulation and politics. The workshop also seeks to advance research methodologies for studying digital platforms, especially the role of AI tools.
