An experimental manipulation of divisibility in the public good game
Machine learning and the optimization of prediction-based policies
We present a procedure for the optimal implementation of public policies that involve predicting an individual behavior or characteristic. By linking prediction errors of any given classification model to the resulting social welfare, we provide a simple measure to rank different models and select the optimal one. Such measure is defined as the difference between the social welfare of a given policy and that of an error-free policy, and it is rel…

Reliance on scientists and experts during an epidemic
Research suggests trust in experts and authorities are important correlates of compliance with public health measures during infectious disease outbreaks. Empirical evidence on the dynamics of reliance on scientists and public health authorities during the early phases of an epidemic outbreak is limited. We examine these processes during the COVID-19 outbreak in Italy by leveraging data from Twitter and two online surveys, including a survey expe…
