A massive experiment by Berkeley professsor Tadelis with the online ticket marketplace StubHub concluded that “drip pricing”, where additional fees are only disclosed when customers ar
19、e ready to confirm their purchases, resulted in people spending more. “Websites incorporating hidden feesare making more money than they would if they chose to honestly display all fees upfront,” Tadelis said. The study set out to find out how “drip pricing” affects both the quantity and types of ti
20、cket purchases through a large-scale, real-world randomized experiment. For the experiment, StubHub randomly assigned half of all the users to an experimental hidden-fee structure where buyers saw only the ticket list price as they shopped, and extra fees were only displayed on the checkout page, wh
21、ich generally amounted to 15% of the ticket price including shipping. The other half of StubHub users continued to see the all-inclusive prices. This setup allowed Tadelis and his colleagues to compare the choices made by the two groups, such as purchases and clicks towards checkout. Overall, users
22、who werent shown the additional fees upfront spent about 21% more on tickets and were 14% more likely to complete a purchase compared with those who saw all-inclusive prices from the start. Among all those who made purchases, customers in the hidden-fee group bought tickets that were about 5% more e
23、xpensive than those in the upfront fee group, buying more tickets for seats located closer to the field or the event stage. The findings raise questions for whether the misinformed consumers have a right to full price disclosure upfront. Professor Tadelis noted that some governments have considered

28、poverty can have long-term negative consequences for children. Now, a study offering unconditional cash to a group of mothers on low incomes in the US is beginning to discover the precise role of parental income in child development. It is the first randomised trial to look at whether a basic income
29、 might affect the way a childs brain develops in this critical period. We know that the first few years of a childs life are the most influential for their development. Brain development is particularly rapid in early childhood and therefore more likely to be influenced by the environment. Studies o
30、f children born into families with low incomes have found they tend to have more behavioural problems and are behind their peers when they start school. However, it isnt clear whether low income directly leads to these outcomes, or whether they are a result of other factors associated with growing u
31、p in poverty. To find out, Kimberly Noble at Columbia University in New York City and her colleagues approached women on low incomes who had just given birth at four sites in the US. The team is measuring several things throughout the study. At each yearly follow-up, children are assessed for measur
32、es like sleep quality, developmental milestones, overall health and emotional development. One unique aspect of the study is the use of mobile EEG headsets to monitor the infantsbrain activity in their home environments. Almost $4 million has been given out through the study so far. Though it is too
33、 early to draw full conclusions, some preliminary results are already of interest. For example, some of the parents have allowed the researchers to keep track of their transactions. Those in the high-cash group appear to be spending more on books for their children, and spending more time reading to
34、gether, according to surveys the team conducted. This is potentially good news because reading to infants is known to be good for cognitive development, vocabulary and promoting important bonds between adults and children. Eventually, the findings could help with policy interventions to assist child

A. the early years of a childs life are the most influential B. money affects brain development in ones childhood C. women should earn more to promote
