Episode 301: Talking Policy Design

What do Healthcare.gov, police officer recruitment, and 911 call centers have in common? All can be improved through smart policy design tweaks! In this episode, Goldman Professor Elizabeth Linos and TPTM host Spencer Bowen (MPP '20) discuss how small changes in policy design can result in big differences in impact. The first in our ongoing series on Policy Design and Implementation, this episode helps break down the different mechanisms that can be used to influence the direction of policy results. In addition, Professor Linos shares her most recent research, about small changes to improve the day-to-day lives (and then the retention!) of 911 call center staff.
