Gianmarco León
Gianmarco León is an assistant professor in the department of economics and business at the Universitat Pompeu Fabra and the Barcelona Graduate School of Economics. The author is very grateful for the patient guidance of Elisabeth Sadoulet. Insightful comments and suggestions by Richard Akresh, Michael Anderson, Max Auffhammer, Chris Blattman, Alain de Janvry, Oeindrila Dube, Fred Finan, Katherine Hausman, Valerie Koechlin, Jeremy Magruder, Daniel Manrique, Ted Miguel, Gerard Padro-i-Miquel, Alex Solis, Eik Swee and Di Zeng were extremely important. Participants in the AMID/BREAD/CEPR 2009 conference, NEUDC 2009, UC Berkeley Development Lunch, Universidad de Piura, and AEA 2011 annual meetings provided very valuable feedback. Additionally, four anonymous referees helped substantially to improve the first manuscript. The author claims responsibility for all remaining errors
