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

The second half is elite (the entire sequence on Scarif). I agree, it gives a lot more context to Cassian's plot.

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

I'm thrilled to announce that I'll be joining Purdue University as a Clinical Assistant Professor in Economics! I feel very fortunate to be an academic and can't wait to teach, as well as continue conducting research at a place with such a rich history in Experimental Econ. #econsky

Makes me want to do a re-watch of the originals, and other Leslie Nielsen films (and Lonely Island clips as well).

📢 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

I'm kind of sad about what's happened to twitter these past couple of years. Used to be an amazing place for discussion/discourse. Especially amongst academic networks.

I don't know what that means, but I agree!

Results: The mere existence of the possibility of intergenerational exchange results in: 1. Participants significantly more like to contribute to future generations. 📈 2. Participants keep significantly less for themselves (more cooperation overall) 📈

Ben Grodeck🔸 @benleoecon.bsky.social · 30/03/2025

2. Anonymous Exchange Treatment: The only difference is that transfers to Account B go to a participant from the previous generation. This creates the possibility of intergenerational exchange. In both treatments players get zero information on other players' decisions.

Ben Grodeck🔸 @benleoecon.bsky.social · 30/03/2025

1. The Forward Only Treatment: This represents the classical intergenerational decision problem. The Decision Maker can allocate resources to the future generation (Account C), to someone in the current generation (Account B), or keep it for themselves.

Game set-up summary: - Players make an allocation decision with some chance the next generation exists, and some chance that the game will end.

🚨New WP🚨 Problem: Altruism alone isn't enough to sufficiently invest in future generations. We find: Allowing for cooperation with both the previous generation (as well as the future generation) increases investment in future generations. papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

This is a great innovation. Important to create and extend discussions around important topics within econ. I hope this becomes normalised and is adopted by other journals.
