  1. Article ; Online: Beyond the sheltering academic silo: Norms for scientists' participation in policy.

    Akerlof, Karen L

    Progress in molecular biology and translational science

    2021  Volume 188, Issue 1, Page(s) 29–44

    Abstract Over the past 75 years, the relationship between science and policy has been transformed as U.S. government priorities shifted from basic research post-World War II toward scientific knowledge that contributes to societal decision-making and spurs innovation. These macrolevel forces have restructured the landscape in which scientists interact with policymakers, creating new norms for their involvement in policy. This chapter focuses specifically on legislatures as one of the most consequential fora for policy decisions, but also hyperpolitical because of its representative function in democracies. In interviews, legislative staff in the U.S. Congress, who serve as gatekeepers for the flow of policy-relevant information, embrace a wide range of norms for scientists' involvement, but they also cite concerns about the effects of redefining these boundaries on scientists' authority. Researchers and their institutions should be aware of these broad trends in conceptualizing and strategizing their approaches to societal impact.

  3. Article ; Online: Frontrunning the signals: As arbitrage between sophisticates.

    Abstract This paper presents a model in which some sophisticated investors do not wait for receipt of a signal before purchasing an asset. Its critical innovation is an arbitrage equation for frontrunning. Some sophisticates who will receive information in the next period arbitrage against similar sophisticates who will act on that information in that next period when the information is received. The costs of such frontrunning are borne totally by unsophisticated traders-with no gain or loss to sophisticates. Nor does the frontrunning produce any information discovery. Thus, this paper describes a financial-market anomaly: of inefficient financial transactions with gains to no one.

  4. Article ; Online: Climate and health concerns of Montana's public and environmental health professionals: a cross-sectional study.

    Byron, Lori / Akerlof, Karen L

    BMC public health

    2021  Volume 21, Issue 1, Page(s) 1778

    Abstract Background: Rural health professionals stand at the forefront of community response to climate change, but few studies have assessed their perceptions of the threat. Further, no previous study has compared the opinions of environmental to public health professionals or extensively analyzed the factors related to these experts' climate beliefs, risk perceptions, and issue prioritization.
    Methods: In conjunction with the Montana Climate Assessment's 2021 Special Report on Climate Change and Human Health, the 479 members of the Montana Public Health Association and Montana Environmental Health Association were surveyed during September-October 2019, with 39% completing the survey. We summarized descriptive data about their perceptions of local climate-related changes and their beliefs that global warming is happening, is mostly human-caused, is a risk to human health, and that their offices and others should take action. We also evaluated which sociodemographic and risk perception factors related to these climate beliefs, risk perceptions, and workplace issue prioritization.
    Results: Health professionals in Montana, a politically conservative state, demonstrated high levels of awareness that global warming is happening, human-caused, and a threat to human health, well above reported rates of public concern. Eighty-eight percent said that global warming is occurring and 69% that it is mostly anthropogenic. Sixty-nine percent said that their own health was already affected by climate, and 86% said they were already seeing at least one climate change-related event in their communities. Seventy-two percent said that their departments should be preparing to deal with climate change's health effects, but just 30% said that it is currently happening. We found no statistically significant differences between Montana environmental health and public health professionals in regression models predicting climate beliefs, risk perception, and prioritization. As in studies of the public, political ideology and the observation of local climate-related changes were the strongest factors.
    Conclusions: Montana environmental and public health officials said that departmental action was needed on climate change, indicating the readiness of rural health professionals to take action. Further studies of health professionals in rural regions are warranted.

  6. Article ; Online: Behaviorally segmented audiences for managing sunscreen chemical pollution risk in protected coastal natural resource areas.

    Akerlof, K L / Loevenich, Jacqueline / Melena, Sara / Lipsky, Christine A

    Abstract This audience segmentation of visitors at coastal parks in Hawaii and North Carolina addresses an emergent natural resource management concern and risk to aquatic ecosystems: sunscreen chemical pollution. Four audiences were identified that correspond to different behavioral profiles: sunscreen protection tourists, multimodal sun protection tourists, in-state frequent park visitors, and frequent beachgoers who skip sunscreen. The second-largest audience, sunscreen protection tourists, represents 29% of visitors at Cape Lookout National Seashore and 25% at Kaloko-Honokōhau National Historical Park. This group ranks of most concern for chemical pollution because they use sunscreen, but not typically mineral formulations or other methods such as protective clothing, and they have lower levels of sunscreen chemical issue awareness. The identification of similar audience segments across regions with differing cultural characteristics and sunscreen regulation status suggests the robustness of the model and its indicator variables, with implications for both environmental protection and public health. Further, coastal visitors' interest in enacting pro-environmental sun protection behaviors during their next park or beach visit indicates the potential for natural resource managers to holistically address risks in both domains through targeted interventions with audiences of most concern.
