Today is the day in which parties in Israel get listed with the central elections committee. Dan Arieli, yes, that Dan Arieli, is there (on the left) to list the Pirate Party. Which is certainly a choice.

The first “removal” (if this stands) of a Federal Reserve Board Governor in the institution’s 112 year history. Totally unprecedented. No due process. A totally authoritarian move.

Losing a job is intensely stressful, and often has consequences for behavior and mental health. But some of its psychological effects may run counter to expectations. www.chicagobooth.edu/review/job-l... via Booth's @abbysussman.bsky.social

Job Loss Can Lead to Risky Decision-Making

Rather than being more financially cautious after a layoff, many become less so.

Auschwitz Memorial @auschwitzmemorial.bsky.social · 01/12/2024

1 December 1942 | A transport of 532 Norwegian Jews deported from Bergen arrived at #Auschwitz. SS doctors sent 186 men to be registered in the camp. The remaining 346 people were murdered in a gas chamber. Among them were Olga Wulff and her daughter Doris.

How did changing the riskiness of a choice impact the gender gap in willingness to ask? My new paper in MS with Alex Willén finds gender gaps widen, which benefits men more. The gap is likely driven by gender differences in beliefs. pubsonline.informs.org/doi/epdf/10....

Totally agree with @shengwuli.bsky.social. The broader point is that I think we need to directly address the elephant in the room: the *huge* impact of context--i.e., seemingly irrelevant factors--on choice and beliefs. 🧵 on the behavioral economics of context, with some new data at the end.

Great thread Sam! I’d add that everyone should read Tversky, Sattath, and Slovic (1988), Psych Rev for theorizing on why different “response modes” might lead to different preference orderings. psycnet.apa.org/record/1988-...

I disagree here. The papers are interesting as @aleximas.bsky.social has pointed out (bsky.app/profile/alex...), but differences in elicitation producing preference reversals predates Prospect Theory. If you don't know Lichtenstein & Slovic (1971) and Grether and Plott (1979), read below.

If you're looking for a special coffee to brighten your day, try the Los Nogales roasted by Sweven Coffee in Bristol. Fruity with a bit of funkiness to it, but not over the top. I really enjoyed it! www.swevencoffee.co.uk/product/los-...

Hi, #EconSky 📉📈 ! I am on the job market this year, so in the spirit of “hire me, please” energy, I’ll be sharing a short run-down of some of my work (since starting my post-doc in 2021). I have broad interests, but I generally call myself an applied labor & public economist.
