Academic Paper Ideas
A description of our most promising academic paper ideas based on the opportunities we have so far
Why list these here? By identifying specific hypotheses (for an academic paper), it will help:
Generate ideas for non-profits to test
Avoid indecision about what ideas to try
Keep those of us with academic publishing incentives motivated
In sum, to give us some direction and focus.
Current ideas for papers are summarized in this google doc embedded. The document is divided into:
one section for each idea we have fleshed out, so far... (at Oct 23, this includes):
shared community insight framing
Donor responses to “quantitative ‘per dollar’ impact information” and presentations of this (DR added)
warm glow (DR: 'internal reward) from effectiveness
a list of others' ideas and general themes we have yet to flesh out
some classic ideas we could test (as an alternative to developing novel hypotheses)
Here's the doc: (link HERE to edit or comment within)
