Does politics affect the uptake of social policies? Post by Martín Valdivia and others in The Journal of Politics’ blog
Martin Valdivia and coauthors examine whether policy preferences affect the uptake and learning from government programs in the context of Brazil’s Individual Microentrepreneur Program, which provides subsidized access to social security coverage and business-related incentives. To this end, they report the results of a field experiment in low-income communities in Rio de Janeiro.
Blog based on the forthcoming article by Cesar Zucco, Anna-Katharina Lenz, Rafael Goldszmidt and Martin, “Do Political Preferences Affect Policy Learning and Uptake?” published in The Journal of Politics.
