The Behavioral Economics Program at the Russell Sage Foundation has awarded a research grant to Sociology Professors Frederick Wherry (Yale), Kristin Seefeldt (University of Michigan), and Anthony Alvarez (California State- Fullerton) to support their research on financial inclusion. According to the Foundation: “They will carry out and analyze in-depth interviews with 40 low-income immigrants and minorities participating in lending circles in San Francisco, focusing on the mechanisms that lead to greater participation in mainstream financial services and the impact of lending circles on how these groups make financial decisions and build assets and credit.” More information can be found here. Congratulations, Fred!
