Advance Season Passes at Outdoor Public Pools as Sequential Screening
A research poster from the School of Emergent Priorities models the early-price season pass at outdoor public pools as a sequential-screening menu and reads its deadline as a notch in time, finding final-week sales at 2.4 times a fitted counterfactual across 22,538 passes sold at 11 council-run pools over three seasons. Households in the top tercile of weather exposure buy after the deadline at 41% against 19% in the bottom, and waiting for the summer is worth about two-thirds of the price step to the marginal household.
