Some of the Snider Center s most recent research initiatives include the following While Japan is often perceived to be a poster child for government promotion of economic development in fact Japan s spectacular economic growth was fueled by entrepreneurship and free markets Funded by a grant awarded by the NSF Dr Serguey Braguinsky and Dr Rajshree Agarwal will conduct an in depth examination of the role played by educated engineering human capital in promoting entrepreneurship and market oriented growth Research by Dr Francesco D Acunto and Dr Alberto Rossi identified some unintended consequences of Dodd Frank including a dramatic shift by banks away from offering the kind of loans that allow middle class families to buy homes in favor of jumbo loans available to wealthy households These patterns are potentially contributing to keeping the middle class out of the home buying market Research by Dr Christy Ford Chapin documents the rise of health Insurance companies which first became a major player in the American health care system in the 1930s Long associated with market inefficiencies such as high costs fragmented care and red tape Chapin explores why both the right and the left have shown an interest in creating health care delivery systems that do away with insurance companies Post harvest loss is a worldwide problem Helping farmers store crops and get them to market reduces both poverty and hunger Dr Steve Sonka s work explores partnerships between NGOs and private enterprises He finds that companies often need a boost from NGOs to provide training in the use of food storage products but are better at creating sustainable markets for technologies supporting agriculture Dr Felipe Saffie is conducting research on what happens when corporations engage in lobbying for tax reduction His work sheds light on counterintuitive and unintended outcomes of lobbying including the creation of inefficiencies in the way manufacturing firms accumulate and use capital He finds that for manufacturing lowering taxation may reduce the incentive to lobby An information visualization commissioned by the Ed Snider Center communicates Saffie s data in a clear and concise way Ed Snider Center for Enterprise and Markets Dr Evan Starr s ongoing work on the use of noncompete agreements has been cited by dozens of news outlets and contributed to multiple policy changes Starr found that non competes make sense in some industries such as hitech environments where they can encourage companies to invest more in employee training But they also pose an unfair burden on lowwage workers and their enforcement can hurt employees by reducing both wages and mobility 11
