DESCRIPTION:Espionage incurs important costs yet there is little quantitati
 ve evidence on how secret services and spies work\, and under what conditio
 ns they perform well. We study this question using declassified archival da
 ta from one of the most prolific secret services worldwide\, the East Germa
 n Stasi during the Cold War. We analyze a unique database that contains inf
 ormation on all the pieces of information that spies in the West sent to Ea
 st Germany between 1970 and 1989. We match a subset of spies to their West 
 German social security records\, allowing us to track their careers in the 
 secret service and in the firms they were spying on simultaneously. Analyzi
 ng the quantity and quality of information delivered\, we disentangle the r
 oles that spy heterogeneity\, learning-by-doing\, and career progression in
  the espionage object play for spy performance. Finally\, we discuss the im
 plications for counter-espionage efforts today.\\n\\nContact: Yajna Govind
