Paper: Beliefs and Demand for Employee Ownership Among Young Adults (with Fabio Landini) 👉https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=5362985

Gabriel Burdin @gabrielburdin.bsky.social · 25/09/2025
Policy takeaway: 💡 Low-cost informational interventions can boost societal support for employee ownership. But belief updating alone may not trigger career choices → deeper barriers remain.

Gabriel Burdin @gabrielburdin.bsky.social · 25/09/2025
Methodological note: 👉Demand effects: shift in policy preferences persists even in an obfuscated follow-up survey 👉(Non-preregistered) analysis of open-text responses with human coders + ChatGPT adjudication of disputes

Gabriel Burdin @gabrielburdin.bsky.social · 25/09/2025
Implications: 👉Worker ownership has the potential to improve firm and worker outcomes 👉Uptake is low not only due to wealth constraints, risk aversion or decision costs, as emphasized by traditional explanations, but also due to biased priors and negative narratives.

Gabriel Burdin @gabrielburdin.bsky.social · 25/09/2025
We also asked: “What’s the first word you think of when you hear co-op?” Control: “exploitation,” “low pay,” “instability.” Treatment: “solidarity,” “cooperation,” “jobs.” Information reduced negative first-order concerns about cooperatives and increased positive ones.

Gabriel Burdin @gabrielburdin.bsky.social · 25/09/2025
We exposed half the sample to expert-based judgments. Result: ✅ Beliefs shifted (more optimistic) ✅ Policy support ↑ (“govt should support the creation of co-ops”) ❌ BUT career intentions did not change 5/

We also asked a sample of international experts to evaluate existing evidence across similar performance dimensions. 🔍 Priors: Young adults were much more pessimistic than international experts about the relative performance of worker cooperatives. 3/

We ran a preregistered experiment guided by a detailed pre-analysis plan involving 2,000 young adults in Italy. We asked: what do people believe about worker co-ops vs conventional firms (firm productivity, survival, inequality, employment stability)? 2/

Gabriel Burdin @gabrielburdin.bsky.social · 25/09/2025
🚨 New paper update! Why are employee-owned firms with majority workforce control (e.g., worker cooperatives) so rare, despite evidence showing they perform at least as well as investor-owned firms in many contexts? We argue: beliefs play a key role. 🧵
