SUMMARY:Anne Karing\, University of Chicago\, "Incentives and Motivation Crowd-Out: Experimental Evidence from Childhood Immunization"
DESCRIPTION:Biography: Anne Karing’s research focuses on the economics of healthcare delivery and health-seeking behaviors in low-income countries\, applying insights from psychology. Her core work examines how social signaling motives can change behaviors\, in ways that benefit individual health and society. She has implemented large-scale field experiments that examine the effectiveness of social signaling incentives in increasing the demand for childhood immunization and deworming treatment in Sierra Leone and Kenya. As part of this research\, Anne also conducts follow-up surveys with cohorts previously exposed to incentives to assess their potential crowd-out effects on motivation. Other branches of her work include markets of medicines\, including how formal and illegal markets interact\, and the relevance of social preferences and competition in taming market failures among formal providers. Karing earned a BA with honors in Philosophy\, Politics\, and Economics as well as an MPhil in Economics from the University of Oxford. She completed a PhD in Economics at University of California\, Berkeley and a postdoctoral fellowship at Princeton University. \n\n\n\nIncentives and Motivation Crowd-Out: Experimental Evidence from Childhood Immunization\n\n\n\nAbstract: We investigate the impact of incentives and their withdrawal on parents’ decisions to vaccinate subsequent children. We follow up with parents three years after exposure to a bracelet incentive given to children for timely vaccination in Sierra Leone. Our analysis leverages the design of an experiment in which clinics were randomly assigned to offer incentives or not. Since only parents with a newborn at the time of the experiment were eligible for the incentive\, we can exploit individual variation in exposure within clinics. First\, we find that eligibility for an incentive for an earlier child reduces parents’ motivation to vaccinate their subsequent child on time\, with reductions of 5 to 11 percent in the number of timely visits compared to unexposed parents. There are no effects on vaccination rates by 15 months of age\, suggesting that parents delay vaccination rather than abstaining altogether. Second\, parents living in communities where incentives were offered but who were ineligible for them show no effects\, ruling out the possibility that changes in community norms or clinic practices drive the results. Third\, incentives that signaled being a caring parent do not lead to adverse effects. Using causal forest analysis and testing for differences in knowledge and practices around immunization\, we rule out that negative effects are due to learning from the removal of incentives. Instead\, we conclude that the exposure to incentives crowded out parents’ intrinsic motivation by altering their self-perception or relationship with vaccination. \nAn audio recording of Dr. Karing’s presentation may be accessed here. \nThe slides of the presentation may be accessed here.

SUMMARY:Workshop: Jake Anderson\, University of California\, Los Angeles\, "Transitioning to Industry: Tech Pathways for Academics"
DESCRIPTION:Description:\nJoin us for a session on navigating the transition from academia to industry\, specifically in tech roles. Led by Jake Anderson\, a CCPR trainee from the Economics department who has worked as a Data Science Manager and Senior Data Scientist in San Francisco\, this workshop will guide you through reframing academic projects and experience to highlight impact and value. We will discuss the typical tech interview process\, covering recruiter interactions\, technical screens\, and multi-stage interviews. Learn about the distinctions in interview focus across major tech firms like Amazon\, Facebook\, Uber and Google\, and explore the nuances of different roles\, job titles\, and career tracks. Attendees will gain insights into salary negotiations (including stock and bonuses)\, team matching\, and what to expect in the first few years in industry\, including performance evaluations and promotion pathways. This session is a must for those considering a career pivot into tech or looking to better understand the tech hiring landscape! \nOne recent candidate from a top 10 PhD program who got several industry offers wrote: “Marketing yourself effectively is crucial in tech\, yet this is a skill that many economists and other academics lack. Jake brings years of experience and understands how to translate between the academic and industry spaces. My resume got many compliments after Jake overhauled it\, and his guidance was critical for securing interviews and internships that ultimately converted into full-time offers. Jake has abundant knowledge on non-econ science roles that many tech economists are unfamiliar with. I highly recommend working with Jake.”

SUMMARY:Reflections on Graduate Training at CCPR/UCLA: A Panel to Honor Judith Seltzer
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a panel to honor Prof. Judith Seltzer’s career and graduate training with CCPR and UCLA! Prof. Judith Seltzer is a founding member and former director of CCPR. She received the Sara McLanahan award from the Population Association of America. \nPanelists include former UCLA / CCPR graduate students Esther Friedman (Research Associate Professor\, Survey Research Center\, University of Michigan)\, Charles Lau (Chief Research Officer\, GeoPoll)\, Christine Schwartz (Professor of Sociology\, University of Wisconsin-Madison)\, and Emily Wiemers (Associate Professor\, Department of Public Administration and International Affairs\, Syracuse University)\, who will be sharing reflections on their training at CCPR with Prof. Seltzer. \nProfessor Judith Seltzer’s remarkable body of research has studied contemporary shifts in kinship patterns in the U.S. (such as marriage\, cohabitation\, divorce\, and non-married families)\, intergenerational obligations\, relationships between nonresident fathers and children\, and how policies affect family change. She has also contributed to improvements in the quality of survey data on families and family networks\, including a module on kin networks and transfers in the Panel Study of Income Dynamics\, family content in the Add Health Parent Study\, and most recently developing a coding scheme for the Health and Retirement Study questions on who respondents gave or received help from during the COVID-19 pandemic. Judy has also contributed enormously to the development of population research in the profession broadly and at UCLA. She has been an active member of the Population Association of America\, including serving as president in 2016 and as a founding member of the California Center for Population Research (CCPR)\, which has shaped the scholarship and careers of multiple scholars. Judy’s students and colleagues have benefited enormously from her intellectual contributions and her tremendous generosity of spirit. \nAn audio recording of the panel event may be accessed here. \n

SUMMARY:Dan Thompson\, University of California\, Los Angeles\, "How Much Does Health Affect Voter Participation?"
DESCRIPTION:Biography: Dan Thompson is an assistant professor of political science at UCLA studying American politics and political methodology. He studies how the rules governing elections affect who participates\, who wins\, and ultimately the policies governments choose. He collects new data on elections and electoral institutions which he combinse with large administrative datasets on government behavior. He then uses modern empirical techniques for causal inference to study how electoral institutions shape election outcomes and public policy. Prior to joining UCLA\, Dr. Thompson received a PhD in political science from Stanford in 2020 and a Master of Public Policy degree from UC Berkeley in 2014. \n\n\n\nHow Much Does Health Affect Voter Participation?\n\n\n\nAbstract: Across elections from 2006 to 2022\, reported turnout rates are over 6 percentage points lower for people with disabilities\, and non-voters cite health as one of the top reasons for failing to cast a ballot. Federal law requires that polling places be accessible to people with disabilities\, and many states have expanded convenience voting options in part to accommodate the needs of people facing health issues and those with disabilities. How much do adverse health events reduce voter participation? To answer these questions\, we link UCLA Health medical records to lists of registered voters in Los Angeles going back to 2016. We compare people diagnosed with cancer or a substantial cardiovascular event in the year before an election to those diagnosed after election day. We find that cancer causes a 3 percentage point drop in turnout. We also present suggestive evidence that the effect is smaller in 2020 after Los Angeles began mailing a ballot to all registered voters. \nAn audio recording of Dr. Thompson’s presentation may be accessed here. \nThe slides of the presentation may be accessed here.
