#EconSky, check out my paper w @vmnygaard.bsky.social on the unbanked. We propose a new way to group individuals w/out a bank account, taking into account their interest in being banked. We show that the two groups differ in policy-relevant ways.

Recent RAND research finds that high fees, such as overdraft charges, create a barrier to traditional banking services.

Opinion | Banking Fees Keep Low-Income Customers Away
Our goal should be to bring more of the unbanked into the traditional banking sector.

Many individuals involved in AEA sessions want to make alternative arrangements outside the assigned location in case it's behind picket lines & have asked me for advice.
If you are in that situation, feel free to reach out.

#EconSky, any sense of whether economists here would like to have a verified "Economist" label show up on their profile and posts, tied to an email verification process?
RePEc'd be able to offer a verified Economist label that ties back to the identity and email address on RePEc.
docs.bsky.app/blog/bluesky...
In theory, it might bring new people in RePEc though I don't know how much taste there would be for it and I'm not sure the technical challenges.

We differentiate individuals that do not have a bank account and would one (the “unbanked”) from individuals that do not have a bank account and are not interested in one (the “out of banking population”). It matters for policy!
