The Obama campaign owes its victory not to a single charismatic candidate, but to the efforts of a disciplined and motivated organization whose roots go back to landmark movements of the 1960s. Marshall Ganz describes how the principles and practices he learned around organizing and leadership played out in the most recent presidential election.
Arnold Barnett offers a "pragmatic compromise" between a popular vote and the current Electoral College system, a potential cure for the current "funhouse mirror" of election politics based on weighted averages.
From Nicholas Stern's market perspective, climate change constitutes an "externality" that, like traffic grid lock in a city center, arises when some people's actions affect the welfare of others, at no cost to the perpetrators.
Contrary to popular thinking, China owes its astonishing economic expansion not to far-sighted government policy but to hundreds of millions of entrepreneurial peasants. Yasheng Huang's research reveals not only how small-scale rural businesses created China's miracle but how that nation's recovery from the global recession and righting the massive East-West trade imbalance depend on this same under-acknowledged sector.
Sparks fly when entrepreneurial minds collide at MIT, and the repercussions can be felt across the globe. So it is with Spark, an idea incubator run by a number of MIT Sloan alumni and students. The Massachusetts-based organization is working to provide financial support to private schools in India, in the face of the Indian government's unwillingness to invest in its woeful public education system. As part of MIT Sloan's Sustainability Lab this spring, a team of current MIT students developed a model to help Spark determine which private schools to invest in. Correspondent Scott Rolph spoke with team member Ali Wyne on the model the team developed and the growing sense of social responsibility among MIT Sloan students.
By now, the global financial crisis is something we're becoming all too familiar with. But knowing about it and knowing what to do about it are two distinctly different things. In this exclusive podcast, MIT Sloan economics expert Professor Simon Johnson provides studied insights on what the government and financial institutions need to do to turn things around. For Johnson, who recently returned to MIT after serving as chief economist at the International Monetary Fund, proper policy is a key step towards setting things right, as is strong, decisive, coordinated action.

Growing up in Nigeria, Seyi witnessed the effects of poverty firsthand. Consequently, the steps he's taken as an adult have been moving toward one goal: alleviating that poverty. As a recent graduate of the MIT Sloan/JFK School of Government dual-degree program, Seyi learned key lessons in how to make business work in the complex, and often insufficient, infrastructure of a developing country. A firm believer that entrepreneurship is essential to creating jobs and eradicating poverty, Seyi is headed back to his native land to put his education and his passion to work. On the eve of his graduation, correspondents Scott Rolph and Michelle Choate spoke with Seyi about resisting the lure of big business in the U.S. and his hopes for the future of Nigeria.

From The Huffington Post The U.S. government is arguably the largest financial institution in the world. If you add the outstanding stock of government loans, loan guarantees, pension insurance, deposit insurance and the guarantees made by federal entities such as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, you get to about $18 trillion of government-backed credit. Through those activities, the government has a first-order effect on the allocation of capital and risk in the economy. The question of what those commitments cost the public is important; accurate cost assessments are necessary for informed decisions by policymakers, effective program management, and meaningful public oversight. My research and that of others has shown that if one takes a financial economics approach to answering that question — one that is consistent with the methods used by private financial institutions to evaluate such costs — it leads to significantly higher estimates than the approach currently used … Read More »The post What Is the True Cost of Government-Backed Credit? — Deborah Lucas appeared first on MIT Sloan Experts.
In the last few years there has been a tremendous push by the U.S. government to encourage healthcare providers to transition to electronic medical records (EMR). The 2009 HITECH Act offers incentives of roughly $44,000 per physician to promote EMR adoption. While that has enticed many providers, we are still nowhere near the government’s goal of eradicating paper records in the process of patient care. In research I conducted with Prof. Amalia Miller of the University of Virginia, we studied EMR adoption by hospitals from 1994-2007 and found that a significant deterrent to EMR adoption is malpractice litigation. Our evidence showed that hospitals located in jurisdictions that facilitate the use of electronic records in malpractice litigation were one-third less likely to adopt EMR. Proponents of EMR systems maintain that they allow providers to store and exchange information about their patients’ medical and treatment histories, improving patient care and reducing administrative … Read More »The post Malpractice Litigation’s Effect on Electronic Medical Records (EMR) Adoption — Catherine Tucker appeared first on MIT Sloan Experts.
