Melanie Morten

NBER Working Paper No. 22159
Issued in April 2016

---- Acknowledgments ----

This paper is based on my PhD dissertation at Yale University. I am extremely grateful to my advisors, Mark Rosenzweig, Aleh Tsyvinksi, and Chris Udry, for their guidance and support. I would also like to thank the editor, four anonymous referees, Ran Abramitzky, Muneeza Alam, Treb Allen, Lint Barrage, Arun Chandrasekhar, Alex Cohen, Camilo Dominguez, Patrick Kehoe, Andy Newman, Michael Peters, Tony Smith, Melissa Tartari, and Snaebjorn Gunnsteinsson for helpful comments and discussion. I have also benefited from participants at seminars and from discussions with people at many institutions that are too numerous to mention. I am appreciative of the hospitality and assistance from Cynthia Bantilan and staff at the ICRISAT headquarters in Patancheru, India. Anita Bhide provided excellent research assistance. This work was supported in part by the facilities and staff of the Yale University Faculty of Arts and Sciences High Performance Computing Center. Part of this research was conducted while at the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis. Any views expressed here are those of the author and not necessarily those of the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis, the Federal Reserve System, or the National Bureau of Economic Research.
