CWIP Workshop - Victor Lavy (Warwick)via Microsoft TeamsTitle and abstract of the paper: Capitalism with Compassion: The Effect of Introducing Market-Based Wages on Attitudes Towards Free Markets and Socialism (Ran Abramitzky , Netanel Ben-Porath , Shahar Lahad, Victor Lavy, Michal Palgi) Abstract - We study the effects of labor market liberalization on attitudes towards free-market capitalism and socialism, exploiting a sharp reform whereby Israeli kibbutzim shifted away from equal sharing into market-based wages. Our identification strategy relies on the sharp and staggered implementation of this reform in different kibbutzim. We measure attitudes towards a market economy, capitalism, and socialism in surveys one of us (M. Palgi) has conducted annually over the past 25 years. The reform led to increased support of free-market policies such as full privatization and differential wages. It decreased support of socialist policies such as the joint ownership of production means and the Marxist principle from the ability to needs. Simultaneously, the reform also increased support for the safety net to support weak members through mutual assurance. These effects appear to be driven by an increase in living standards and work ethics that resulted from the reform. To study behavior associated with the attitudes we study, we document that the reform led to a shift in political preferences, resulting in a decreased support to left-wing political parties and increased support for center parties in national elections. Overall, we conclude that introducing market-based wages led to a shift in attitudes towards a market economy with compassion, revealing a change from their traditional democratic socialist model to a social democratic model. |

CAGE-AMES Workshop - Sarthak Joshivia Microsoft TeamsThe title and abstract of Sarthak's talk are: Title: The effect of increasing academic competition on student welfare Abstract: The college admissions competition is arguably the most high-stakes contest in the young person’s life. Moreover, this competition usually takes the form of a rank order contest, which are characterised by the arms race phenomenon. In such settings, the precise mechanism through which students are assigned available college seats have important implications for the choice of pre-college effort, and eventually, for the mental health of college aspirants. I study the case of the 2008 expansion in affirmative action policy in India that reserved 27% of all seats in higher education for students belonging to a particular caste group. Using nationally representative data, I analyse the potential effects of this policy on chosen levels of pre-college year of schooling across different social groups, and on the count of suicides “due to failure in examinations” between 2001-2019. |
