A key finding of the study is the importance of payment design in result-based agri-environmental payments. This also provides insights into how the effectiveness of such payments can potentially be enhanced. In the policy brief, we have summarized the details.

Last week, the policy brief (with Petyo Bonev) for our paper in the American Journal of Agricultural Economics, titled "The Effect of Result-Based Agri-Environmental Payments on Biodiversity: Evidence from Switzerland" (doi.org/10.1111/ajae...), was published.

Some of the most important lottery anomalies from the behavioral risk literature (e.g., probability weighting and loss aversion) actually have nothing to do with risk.

They also arise in perfectly deterministic settings.

👇 👏 important insights on how much (or little) policies are based research.
(I would be curious if this also applies to other fields/setting)

We still have a relatively poor understanding of the relationship between evidence and policy. Program evaluation in particular is often motivated by a desire to make policy better. But how effective is program evaluation itself?Michelle Rao's JMP tackles this question. www.michellerao.com/research

A very interesting new working paper by the greats Ashesh Rambachan, Rahul Singh, and @vivianodavide.bsky.social: arxiv.org/pdf/2411.10959

It seems that this is another area where the empirical common practice was "too fast,'' and econometrics is catching up!

Cool and empirically relevant stuff!
