What about them? 💭 Rune Stubager, @chdausgaard.bsky.social, @lenamariahuber.bsky.social & Michael Lewis-Beck use survey data from Austria, Denmark & the U.S. to find out whether group sympathies matter as much as social identity when influencing #VoterBehaviour

🚨 New piece in TIME: AI progress hasn't stalled — it's just become invisible to most people. 🚨 I used to think that AI slowed down a lot in 2024, but I now think I was wrong. Instead, there's a widening gap between AI's public face and its true capabilities. 🧵

In a new working paper, @fghjorth.bsky.social and I show that party elites have significant power to shape group linkages through their rhetoric, suggesting that such linkages are more dynamic and elite-driven than suggested by predominant structural accounts. 🧵

Remember best practice in a power analysis is to plan not for the effect you expect, but for the smallest effect size of interest. The type 2 error is a conditional inference: If there is an effect I care about, I would have X probability to detect it. lakens.github.io/statistical_...

In causal inference there are row people: "I care about effects, defined in terms of cases, and consider their potential outcomes" (population 🎯, mechanism 🤷🏻) and column people: "I care about mechanisms, which relate variables, and how they behave under interventions" (mechanism 🎯, population 🤷🏻)

Talking with a colleague about errors in conditioning and remembered this glorious example. His statement is conditional on encounter, but the rates shown are unconditional. This example is funny, but less funny when a judge makes a structurally similar mistake.
Bill Gates tweet from 2019 - "Why I would rather encounter a shark in the wild than a mosquito:" Graphic below titled "Mosquitos kill more people in one day than sharks kill a year" - shows 7 deaths in 2017 from shark attacks vs 1474 deaths in 2017 from mosquitos.

Nice new study from Bernhard Clemm von Hohenberg and @andyguess.com on the effect of source credibility on persuasion. Headline for me: successfully manipulating credibility doesn't seem to have downstream effects on persuasiveness doi.org/10.1017/XPS....
Screengrab that reads: Conclusion: We designed a three-wave experiment that independently randomizes the source credibility of a hypothetical online news source and the direction of arguments presented to subjects in the form of articles published by that source. On the one hand, we demonstrate that our credibility manipulations worked: we measurably and durably moved people’s favorability toward, trust in, and perceptions of bias of this new source. On the other hand, this manipulation – however strong and long-lasting – does not seem to produce consistent or robust interactions with our persuasive treatments.

These results challenge the CW on whether local control drive the housing affordability crisis. At a minimum, our results have two implications. 1. Local control can *sometimes* lead to more housing. 2. Local control leads to more housing in DK by shaping city interest.
