Questions to think about this paper

1. What motivate this set of experiments?


2. * can social experiments be the panacea in our exploration of the optimal policies? in other words, what are the limitations and advantages of social experiments?....

=> controlled environment; simplified situation; facilitate analysis;

=> hard to find the balance of the sophistication of the model & the practicality of the experiment;

=> cost in terms of time and money

=> no everything can be experimented (skill depreciation while unemployed, GE related, gender, family background, fertility, disability, race)

3. What are the main findings of this study about the job search behaviour, etc.?

570500=$285000 paid to claimant experiment, 3,527190=$670130 saved

4. How to think about the take-up rate differentials found in this study?


5. Can we actually have an economic framework to think about take up rate here? Why gender and race played such important role in the take up rate?
