Information and Participation in Social Programs
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. The authors propose a model of this participation
process and provide an application of the model using data
from a social program in Mexico. Their 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.
