Testing the impact of antimalarial discounts on overtreatment in Mali
Researchers varied patients’ information about a discount on treatment for simple malaria and measuring take-up of treatment to identify the factors driving overtreatment. While patient pressure on doctors in response to the discount led to excess prescription of antimalarials, there was no evidence of doctors strategically using the vouchers to direct patients toward expensive treatment options.

Sending Reminders to Improve Tax Filing Decisions Among Low-Income Individuals in the United States
