I have started in a new position as professor of economics at NTNU Norwegian University of Science and Technology. I'm now recruiting a postdoc and a full-time research lab manager for a new AI center. Application deadline October 15 for both positions. Details in thread!

I've optimized and updated my Paper Reviewer that now runs on Sol: github.com/Ingar30/revi... It's really good! Run it in Codex on your own papers before you submit to a journal, and let me know if you have ideas for how to improve it.

🚨Elsevier forces out Games and Economic Behavior (GEB) Editor, entire editorial board has resigned, current board only handling new submissions until Nov. 14 #econsky

Dear Advisory Editor of GEB
We are very sorry to be the bearers of bad news for GEB.
I learned from Elsevier on Wednesday July 28 that, contrary to my expressed willingness to continue, my 3-year contract will not be renewed.
"Moving towards a closer alignment with Elsevier strategic priorities and publishing policies" was offered as the motive for this decision. Requests for explanations, first by me, then in a collective letter by the other six Editors, were dismissed by Elsevier which simply reaffirmed its legal power to make such decisions.
Elsevier then started precipitously its own search for new Editors without input of the Editorial Board.
By Friday August 14 all seven Editors have sent their resignation, requiring a 3-month advance notice.
Therefore, we will continue to manage as before the papers currently under review and the new submissions until Saturday November 14. After this date we will only complete the evaluation of papers still waiting an editorial decision.

Excited to release Reviewer: an open-source multi-agent reviewer for economics papers. Run it locally with Codex. It turns a PDF into a structured, high-quality report using a modular, highly customizable pipeline where every finding is traceable to an agent. GitHub link: github.com/Ingar30/revi...

Do you run Qualtrics surveys? Use my GitHub repo to automate the process: Codex will create the survey, push it to Qualtrics, generate synthetic responses, download and clean the data, and produce a set of slides summarizing the process. Check it out here: github.com/Ingar30/qual...

I'm surprised you're not a fan. Overleaf allows for a *so much more* dynamic workflow than Word. Manually typing point values and p-values in a draft instead of using macros is almost guaranteed to produce errors (and lots of frustration).

Ingar Haaland @ihaal.bsky.social · 09/02/2025

I don't think one is "better" than the other, traditional labs have many problems too. Plain vanilla experiments using convenience samples from "online labor markets" might become less relevant, but those are only a small subset of the broader category of online experiments

Ingar Haaland @ihaal.bsky.social · 08/02/2025

Yes, in general, if you want to engineer a null, just make the experiment complicated

The new OpenAI model announced today is quite wild. It is essentially Google's Deep Research idea with multistep reasoning, web search, *and* the o3 model underneath (as far as I know). It sometimes takes a half hour to answer. Let me show you an example. 1/x

I find it funny how these amateurs at OpenAI are basically begging us, their paying subscribers, to test out the competition, especially when the competition is *free* with *unlimited requests*

In my BSc course, "Incentives, Politics, and Behavior," I am introducing students to interesting topics at the research frontier and making them think critically about causal identification. Today, we're doing "From Extreme to Mainstream: The Erosion of Social Norms," which feels almost too relevant

Ingar Haaland @ihaal.bsky.social · 17/01/2025

After you've been "used" to o1, 4o feels like a degraded experience. It's much more *intelligent*: better answers, asks for clarifications when needed, and follows instructions. It might be overkill for some tasks, but I've started getting annoyed when I'm out of o1 requests

130

Ingar Haaland @ihaal.bsky.social · 16/01/2025

An interesting aspect of o1 vs. 4o is that the former *really* pays attention to your custom instructions, whereas 4o mostly doesn't care. Ask for short, pointed responses and o1 will deliver; 4o mostly doesn't notice. Important to change "legacy" instructions created for 4o

Bluesky can be a fraught place to post about AI but it is worth noting that the buzz over o1 (& now o3) is not “hype.” We know o1 can actually do some very hard tasks (see my post) & o3 appears to represent a big further leap. They aren’t AGI, but will matter. www.oneusefulthing.org/p/what-just-...
