Working paper · BEER-WP-2026-03
A randomized trial with 5,907 Colombian parents tested whether a concrete vaccination time or an ownership reminder could help families complete their daughters’ HPV schedule. Suggesting a specific day and time increased second-dose completion by 8.67 percentage points—about doubling the 8.63% control rate—and cost an estimated US$0.38 per additional completion in direct implementation costs. Adding ownership language produced no detectable additional gain.
Working paper · BEER-WP-2026-02
Price controls encourage hoarding: buyers stock up to protect themselves from being rationed tomorrow, or buy cheap today expecting prices to rise once the control ends. In the lab, when a cap was about to be lifted shortages worsened with experience and the price more than doubled, while under an announced future cap participants stored less than predicted; both controls reduced welfare relative to the free market.
