PONPO Seminar: Pricing in the Nonprofit Sector: Nava Ashraf, Assistant Professor of Business Administration, Harvard Business School - A30
The controversy over whether and how much to charge for health products in the developing world rests, in part, on whether higher prices can increase use. Dr. Ashraf's research combines psychology and economics, using both lab and field experiments to test insights from behavioral economics in the context of development projects in the Philippines, Kenya and Zambia. Her experiments address intra-household decision making, micro-finance and savings mobilization, and social marketing.
