Study: Testing policies should vary based on demand to catch the most COVID-19 cases With months to go in the mass rollout of COVID-19 vaccines, testing is still critical to control the surging pandemic. Yet with testing capacity still limited in some areas, health authorities have struggled with how to catch the most cases: Test on a first-come, first-served basis, or prioritize testing for those with symptoms? Provide free testing for all? In a recent working paper, Berkeley Haas Asst. Prof. Luyi Yang found that free testing for all-;with no prioritization-;can backfire when demand gets too high. Along with co-authors Shiliang Cui and Zhongbin Wang, Yang developed a model to project how testing facilities should schedule and price COVID testing to reduce infection rates. ....
The Rise in Deferral MBA Programs Jan 13, 09:23 AM Comments [0] An increasing number of top business schools are offering deferral MBA programs to which current undergraduate students apply during their senior year. In most cases, students will work for a couple of years after graduating from school before beginning their MBA studies.

Many people have defied health officials, putting themselves at risk of contracting COVID-19 or spreading the disease in order to uphold their family traditions in person. A new paper by two researchers at UC Berkeley s Haas School of Business sheds light on the psychology of rituals and why health officials may have to do more than just tell people not to gather in order to be effective. That s because coming together to exchange gifts on Christmas isn t just about getting presents; it s a symbol of love. Eating turkey on Thanksgiving isn t just a shared meal; it s an expression of gratitude. We view rituals as more important than regular types of group activities because they reflect the values of the group, says Dan Stein, a Berkeley Haas doctoral student and lead author on the paper. ....
