How do we already know this? Is there actual studies that show this impact?

I don't think we need a study to show the obvious outcome when you set up incentives in certain ways.

Then we're no longer making evidence-based policy. That's just hypothesis-based policy. And unfortunately, humans are reallllly good at rationalizing whatever hypothesis suits their biases.

I’ll need evidence for that claim.

In academia, behavioral psychology is rife with examples if you want to dig deeper. In culture, so is religion.

I think we have a real world test case with the Russian military
