Scared Straight or Scared to Death? Fatalism in Response to Disease Risks
Jason T Kerwin
Full text
This paper shows that responses to disease risks can be “fatalistic”: higher risk beliefs can lead to more risk-taking rather than less. Intuitively, this can occur because high risk beliefs raise not only the chance of contracting the disease (which raises the marginal cost of risk-taking) but also the perceived chance that you are already infected (which lowers the marginal cost). I test for fatalism by randomly providing information about the true (low) average risk of HIV transmission in Malawi. Consistent with rational fatalism, the treatment causes sexual activity to rise slightly on average but decline sharply for people with high initial risk beliefs—especially those with high baseline levels of sexual activity.
Informal social interactions, academic achievement and behavior: Evidence from peers on the school bus
Matthew A Lenard, Mikko Silliman
Full text
We study the effects of informal social interactions on academic achievement and behavior using idiosyncratic variation in peer groups stemming from changes in bus routes across elementary, middle, and high school. Our results suggest that student interactions outside the classroom—especially in adolescence—may be an important factor in the education production function for both academic and, particularly, behavioral skills. The effects of interactions on the bus are also related to neighborhood measures—suggesting that one way that interactions on the bus may matter is by amplifying interactions in the neighborhood.
