Is it all about Money? A Randomized Evaluation of the Impact of Insurance Literacy and Marketing Treatments on the Demand for Health Microinsurance in Senegal
In Senegal mutual health organizations (MHOs) have been present in the greater region of Thiès for years. Despite their benefits, in some areas there remain low take-up rates. We offer an insurance literacy module, communicating the benefits from health microinsurance and the functioning of MHOs, to a randomly selected sample of households in the city of Thiès. The effects of this training, and three cross-cutting marketing treatments, are evaluated using a randomized control trial. We find that the insurance literacy module has no impact, but that our marketing treatment has a significant effect on the take up decisions of households.Community based health insurance scheme, Randomized control trials, Africa, Senegal

A superintegrable model with reflections on and the higher rank Bannai-Ito algebra
A quantum superintegrable model with reflections on the -sphere is
presented. Its symmetry algebra is identified with the higher rank
generalization of the Bannai-Ito algebra. It is shown that the Hamiltonian of
the system can be constructed from the tensor product of representations of
the superalgebra and that the superintegrability is
naturally understood in that setting. The separated solutions are obtained
through the Fischer decomposition and a Cauchy-Kovalevskaia extension theorem.Comment: 9 page
