India's Unique Identity Project


When India began its "unique ID" project in 2010, the hope was that millions of Indians who don't have a passport, driver's license or other credible identity document would get one—finally providing a recognized resource for government and private sector services. A new survey led by Carlson School of Management professor, Ravi Bapna, and NYU Stern School professor, Arun Sundararajan, answers whether the program is targeting the demographic it intended to, and highlights which states are signing up people at the fastest pace. carlsonschool.umn.edu For more information on the Carlson School and its research, visit www.carlsonschool.umn.edu.

What's My Account Really Worth?


Research from Carlson School of Management Assistant Professors Colleen Flaherty Manchester and Aaron Sojourner could help Americans make more-informed savings decisions and be better prepared for retirement.

Nonprofit Boards: Size, Performance and Managerial Incentives


Adding board members can help resource-starved nonprofits raise funds, but the practice likely makes the organization less effective and causes it to drift away from its mission. Those were the findings of Associate Professor of Finance Rajesh Aggarwal who studied the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) filings of more than 35000 501(c)3 nonprofit firms. "Nonprofit Boards: Size, Performance and Managerial Incentives" was co-authored with Mark Evans (Indiana University) and Dhananjay Nanda (University of Miami). The paper was published in the Journal of Accounting and Economics. For more information on the Carlson School and its research, visit www.carlsonschool.umn.edu .
