DESCRIPTION:*Recent evidence in developing countries shows that\, when faci
 ng investment decisions\, female entrepreneurs choose to invest in their hu
 sband’s firm instead of their own. In this context\, it is important to u
 nderstand how entrepreneurship decisions within the household are shaped. U
 sing a standard collective household model\, this paper studies spouses’ 
 investment decisions. We find that investment preferences of each spouse a
 re not necessarily aligned and that utility or monetary transfers can real
 ign spouses' optimal investment decisions. To test our theoretical predicti
 ons\, we use Indian Demographic and Health Survey and Indian Human Develo
 pment Survey to estimate the effect of the termination of quotas on textile
 ’s export\, imposed by the Multi Fibre Arrangement\, on women’s well-be
 ing. We find that in regions where women were more involved in agricultural
  production and had more investment possibilities\, removing the quotas dec
 reased households' incomes while it improved health indicators and decrease
 d domestic violence. We interpret this as a better treatment by husbands.
 **Following the Fukushima nuclear accident\, Germany has adopted the 2011 A
 tomic Energy Act (Atomgesetz)\, which plans the phase-out of nuclear power 
 by 2022. It establishes the immediate and permanent shutdown of half of the
  country’s nuclear reactors and plans the gradual closure of the remainin
 g ones\, involving strong implications for both the German electricity mix 
 and prices. Using German Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP) data at the district s
 cale and the Difference-in-Difference approach\, this paper aims at evaluat
 ing the local impacts of this exogenous policy on air pollution\, health an
 d socio-economic indicators\, such as real-estate or labour market outcomes
 . By doing so\, this study aspires to help fill the gap in empirical work a
 ssessing the effects of large-scale nuclear shutdowns\, a policy yet curren
 tly considered by other countries\, as well as to contribute to the discuss
 ion on the consequences of ambitious energy policies.\\n\\nContact: Anushka
