An individual’s place on the economic distribution is supposed to reflect individual effort and talent, not parental resources and privilege. Yet this perspec- tive ignores the mounting evidence of the myriad ways that poverty and economic inequality foreclose equality of opportunity for far too many Americans now and in the future.

  • WHY COMPETITION in the POLITICS INDUSTRY IS FAILING AMERICA a Strategy for Reinvigorating Our Democracy
    SEPTEMBER 2017 WHY COMPETITION IN THE POLITICS INDUSTRY IS FAILING AMERICA A strategy for reinvigorating our democracy Katherine M. Gehl and Michael E. Porter ABOUT THE AUTHORS Katherine M. Gehl, a business leader and former CEO with experience in government, began, in the last decade, to participate actively in politics—first in traditional partisan politics. As she deepened her understanding of how politics actually worked—and didn’t work—for the public interest, she realized that even the best candidates and elected officials were severely limited by a dysfunctional system, and that the political system was the single greatest challenge facing our country. She turned her focus to political system reform and innovation and has made this her mission. Michael E. Porter, an expert on competition and strategy in industries and nations, encountered politics in trying to advise governments and advocate sensible and proven reforms. As co-chair of the multiyear, non-partisan U.S. Competitiveness Project at Harvard Business School over the past five years, it became clear to him that the political system was actually the major constraint in America’s inability to restore economic prosperity and address many of the other problems our nation faces. Working with Katherine to understand the root causes of the failure of political competition, and what to do about it, has become an obsession. DISCLOSURE This work was funded by Harvard Business School, including the Institute for Strategy and Competitiveness and the Division of Research and Faculty Development. No external funding was received. Katherine and Michael are both involved in supporting the work they advocate in this report.

  • Risk Preferences Are Not Time Preferences†
    American Economic Review 2012, 102(7): 3357–3376 http://dx.doi.org/10.1257/aer.102.7.3357 Risk Preferences Are Not Time Preferences† By James Andreoni and Charles Sprenger* Risk and time are intertwined. The present is known while the future is inherently risky. This is problematic when studying time prefer- ences since uncontrolled risk can generate apparently present-biased behavior. We systematically manipulate risk in an intertemporal choice experiment. Discounted expected utility performs well with risk, but when certainty is added common ratio predictions fail sharply. The data cannot be explained by prospect theory, hyperbolic discounting, or preferences for resolution of uncertainty, but seem consistent with a direct preference for certainty. The data suggest strongly a difference between risk and time preferences. JEL C91 D81 D91 ( ) Understanding individual decision-making under risk and over time are two foun- dations of economic analysis.1 In both areas there has been research to suggest that standard models of expected utility EU and exponential discounting are flawed ( ) or incomplete. Regarding time, experimental research has uncovered evidence of a present bias, or hyperbolic discounting Frederick, Loewenstein, and O’Donoghue ( 2002 . Regarding risk, there are number of well-documented departures from EU, ) such as the Allais 1953 common consequence and common ratio paradoxes. ( ) An organizing principle behind expected utility violations is that they seem to arise as so-called “boundary effects” where certainty and uncertainty are combined. Camerer 1992 , Harless and Camerer 1994 , and Starmer 2000 indicate that vio- ( ) ( ) ( ) lations of expected utility are notably less prevalent when all choices are uncertain. This observation is especially interesting when considering decisions about risk-tak- ing over time.

Many have to juggle multiple jobs with unpredictable hours—single-parent and two-income families alike—and whether wealthy or poor, the question of childcare is ever present. Only adding to this stress is the growing evidence of the importance of the years between conception and kindergarten for a child’s devel- opment. No wonder parents, and particularly mothers given their traditional role as the primary caregiver and increasingly as breadwinner, are so concerned about how to balance work and raise their young children.
