Our @CDES_Monash working paper. Why is it so hard to adopt sustainable choices? Our RCT identifies “awareness” as a constraint. But traditional awareness campaigns usually don’t work. We propose: target the constraint better leveraging upward spillovers. monash.edu/__data/assets/pdf…

@LauraKGee presenting her findings (w/ @OlgaStoddard and @kbuzard7 ) from a clever field experiment: moms are more likely to be interrupted (by schools) even when both parent numbers are listed. Listing dad as more available still leaves about 25% of calls going to mom. #nbersi
