Bryce Ward

Description

This week is our August edition of Incentives & Instincts, a recurring series in which Justin speaks with economist and friend Bryce Ward about some of the broader challenges facing our society.

It is back to school season and phones remain a hot topic in public schools. Some states have legislated bans and we're starting to have enough data to evaluate the effects. In this episode, Justin and Bryce talk about those effects and about a growing body of research that contends that kids are receiving less unsupervised play time compared to previous generations, and how that can relate to a decline in contentiousness.
