Haas Prof Wins Research Competition
Haas School of Business economist David I. Levine and his research team are one of three winners of the Random Controlled Trials competition sponsored by the Coalition for Evidence-Based Policy. The win provides the researchers with a $96,000 grant to help conduct a new study, “The Effects of OSHA Inspections: Results from a Natural Field Experiment.”
The research team includes Michael W. Toffel, associate professor of business administration at Harvard Business School and Matthew S. Johnson, a PhD candidate in the economics department at Boston University. The competition garnered 50 submissions and is designed to select and fund low-cost, randomized controlled trials in areas of high policy importance.
