Reposted by Daniel NettleBenoît de Courson @bdecourson.bsky.social · 23/02/2026In poverty, do people take more or less risk? Some theories contend that they avoid risk out of caution.

Daniel Nettle @danielnettle.bsky.social · 11/10/2025In a new paper, we show from longitudinal UK and France data that income volatility (fluctatuations month to month) are bad for mental and general health.
