Too much hassle? Too complex? Why don't people take up a good public policy offering? Latest "New Voices" article on "Take Up" by @dafnabearson & @CassSunstein, newly on our #FirstView page

Just published! TAKE UP, by @dafnabearson and yours truly. On why people don't take up opportunities and benefits, even when they would really gain from them - and what to do about it. @BPPjournal

Thrilled to share my paper co-authored with @CassSunstein is out in @BPPjournal! We discuss the main barriers to take up and how to reduce them so that more people benefit from available opportunities. https://t.co/AvnV1y9Bdb

Fun fact: in what is kind of the most excellent coincidence I have ever seen, today's economics laureate @PikaGoldin has a new @nberpubs working paper out this morning called "Why Women Won."

(This really presumably is a coincidence because not only is it not possible to predict receiving a @NobelPrize, but also the working paper release schedule is somewhat stochastic.)

CONGRATULATIONS @PikaGoldin, QED!!!!! 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳

Excited to share that “Open Source Software and Global Entrepreneurship” (co-authored with @frank_nagle and Shane Greenstein) is now out in Research Policy. OSS spurs global tech venture founding and is complementary to endowments like human capital. https://t.co/7g89DslMXL

Why are take up rates – the percentage of people who are receiving a benefit for which they are eligble – so low? @dafnabearson and @CassSunstein discuss barriers to take up, the effects this has on an individual’s decision making and more here: https://t.co/1MdZWMlW94

Twenty-seven years ago, I arrived in New York as a refugee. This fall, I will be returning there as an Assistant Professor at Columbia Business School.

I am incredibly excited for this next step, and so grateful to my family, friends, and mentors for their support along the way.

[Dafna Bearson @dafnabearson]

@LangburdWright CONGRATS! So excited for you.

Anna is a brilliant scholar and a wonderful person (I know this from the many hours we have shared working on microeconomics and econometrics problem sets and beyond). Read her first book with me! 🙂

[SASE @SASE_Meeting]

In #SASE_SER, Kenney, @dafnabearson & Zysman illustrate how the platform economy matures. They argue „platforms are ever more pervasive in the global economy and [...] are shifting the locus of power and value capture to the platform as the intermediary."
