Capstone 2026: Allegheny Treasurer's Office

Allegheny County seeks help in generating responses to delinquency notices. This behavioral project seeks to evaluate whether alternative messaging in the notices can generate differential responses. Relative to a generic control notice, three alternatives are considered: threatening, supportive, informative. With delinquent properties organized into a series of strata, all four notices are being delivered, and responses will be evaluated to discern differential impacts.
