Join us for this Economica-Coase lecture with Stefanie Stantcheva.
People form their policy views based on many concerns related to fairness, self-interest, and beliefs about the impacts. Social economic surveys and experiments can help us better understand how people reason and make decisions about policies that affect their lives in important ways. This talk will consider tax policy, climate change policies, trade policy, and measures to act against inflation.
