Why do people feel repugnance toward transactions that profit off others’ misfortune without causing it (eg prediction markets for disasters)? Research by @benleoecon.bsky.social et al suggests people primarily object to profit-making tied to others' outcomes: buff.ly/VGcxwPK

I'm really sad that @gpioxford.bsky.social is shutting its doors soon. A unique institute in how it motivated big research questions in phil, econ, and psych. I owe a lot of my academic journey to GPI! Also, their econ pre-doc program was incredible. Constantly had great placements. #econsky

📢 Working paper w/ @benleoecon.bsky.social, Johannes Lohse, and Oliver Hauser! Some have proposed that you can get current generations to invest in the future by enabling future generations to give back. We test this in an experiment with sequential "generations" of players. 🧵 #EconTwitter

Thirteen years ago today, I donated a kidney to a stranger, starting a chain w/ 6 recipients. It felt like a great deal: with modest risks, I could give someone many more years of healthy life. Looking back, I'm glad I did it, but I understated both the risks and the benefits. 🧵

We show using DOSE elicitation on representative sample that about half of the US is loss-tolerant, not loss averse. Importantly, this measure correlates with reported gambling and investing behavior so likely not a figment of our method. @cfcamerer.bsky.social academic.oup.com/restud/advan...

Some of the most important lottery anomalies from the behavioral risk literature (e.g., probability weighting and loss aversion) actually have nothing to do with risk. They also arise in perfectly deterministic settings. Lead article in the latest AER issue: www.aeaweb.org/articles?id=...
