The Cost of Short-Term Thinking: Story of Delhi's Cobra Effect

In today's episode of 'What's The Backstory?,' we explore the fascinating yet cautionary tale of Delhi's Cobra Effect, where a well-intentioned policy to reduce the city's cobra population ended up creating a perverse incentive that led to an increase in the very problem it was meant to solve. Let's discuss the dangers of using incentives as a tool for policy-making and how even the best intentions can backfire. So join us in this bite-sized episode as we unpack the complexities of Delhi's Cobra Effect and the lessons it offers for policymakers everywhere.
