Information and Participation in Social Programs
研究个体参与社会项目（如俱乐部）的过程，包括了解要求、申请和接受或拒绝，发现各阶段决策受后续预期影响，且项目知识显著影响参与结果。
Participation in social programs, such as clubs and other social organizations, results from a process in which an agent learns about the requirements, benefits, and likelihood of acceptance related to a program, applies to be a participant, and, finally, is accepted or rejected. We propose a model of this participation process and provide an application of the model using data from a social program in Mexico. Our empirical analysis illustrates that decisions at each stage of the process are responsive to expectations about the decisions and outcomes at the subsequent stages and that knowledge about the program can have a significant impact on participation outcomes.
