📣New publication in Health Policy and Planning!

Vincent Somville, together with Eskindir Loha, Jo Borghi, Peter Binyaruka, and Ottar Mæstad, has published “Does Dosage Matter? Effects of Results-Based Financing Layered on Top of Less Comprehensive Direct Facility Financing in Tanzania.”

Using data from 150 health facilities and more than 3,000 households in Tanzania, the study finds that adding results-based financing improved service coverage, quality of care, patient satisfaction, and health worker job satisfaction.

The findings offer new insights into how financial incentives can strengthen healthcare delivery and improve health outcomes in low- and middle-income countries.

Today we gathered to thank two great colleagues, Aline Bütikofer and Ingar K. Haaland, as they move on to new opportunities. ✨

Both have had a tremendous impact on FAIR and NHH. Through their research, leadership, and engagement, they have helped shape FAIR into what it is today. We are grateful for everything they have contributed and for the many ways they have enriched our academic community.

While we are sad to see them leave, we are excited to see what lies ahead for them. We wish Aline all the best at ETH Zurich and Ingar at NTNU.

We look forward to continuing our work together with Aline and Ingar, and we wish them the best of luck in this next chapter!

🗣️Today's FAIR Seminar was given by Pol Campos-Mercade, Assistant Professor at Lund University. Pol presented: "Incentives, Surrogates, and Long-run Vaccination".

📄 Abstract:
Can monetary incentives improve health behaviors in the long run, and do commonly used surrogate outcomes capture these effects? We study these questions in the context of vaccination using a large-scale field experiment. The experiment combines commonly used surrogates—vaccination intentions, intermediate behavioral proxies, and short-run vaccination—with long-run administrative vaccination records. We first document that incentives increase vaccination rates in the long run: guaranteed $20 incentives raise COVID-19 booster uptake by 9 percentage points. Lottery-based incentives also increase long-run uptake, while prosocial incentives primarily accelerate vaccination. Second, using surrogacy methods, we study whether surrogates can predict long-run impacts. Although the surrogates are strongly correlated with eventual vaccination, the assumptions required for surrogacy methods are often violated, and they do not accurately predict long-run impacts. Our findings highlight both the ability of incentives to change behavior and the importance of measuring long-run outcomes rather than relying solely on surrogates.

Thank you for an engaging seminar, Pol✨

🌯✨ Today we hosted a Women Mentoring Lunch with Pascaline Dupas, Professor at Princeton University and Adjunct Professor at FAIR NHH.

During today’s mentoring lunch, Pascaline Dupas emphasized the importance of choosing projects and responsibilities that genuinely matter to you, even when they do not immediately translate into visible CV achievements. She argued that intrinsic motivation makes demanding work more enjoyable and sustainable, and can ultimately lead to a more fulfilling career.

Thank you, Pascaline, for sharing your insights and experiences with us!

📣New publication in the Review of Economics and Statistics!

Björn Bartling, Alexander W. Cappelen, Mathias Ekström, Erik Ø. Sørensen, and Bertil Tungodden have published “Fairness in Winner-Take-All Competitions”.

The study examines how people view the extreme income inequality generated by winner-take-all markets. Using large-scale experiments, the authors find that many people accept substantial earnings differences even when the winner only slightly outperforms the runner-up, suggesting that winning itself plays a central role in perceptions of fairness.
