This whole chapter on antisemitism in Berlin (and Germany) is very interesting. Here you see "handed-down antisemitism" (ie not post-colonial or other newer forms) over time. #Berlin really stands out.

LLMs allow me to stop worrying about elegant conjunctions and correct prepositions, and focus on the flow of the argument instead. In the past this required at least three or four iterations, which are now reduced to one or two. That's not necessarily slow science, but it's efficient.

Farmer Identity and risk preferences in Farmers' Choices Between Public and Private Agri-Environmental Contracts

Abstract:European farmers' preferences for voluntary agri-environmental contracts are often heterogene-ous and can be influenced by behavioural factors. In our study, we investigate how farmer identity and risk preferences are related to preferences for agri-environment contracts in the UK, France, and the Netherlands. Using data from a discrete choice experiment and a sample of 767 farmers, we identify a statistically significant, but non-robust, effect showing that a stronger relative productivist farmer identity is associated with a higher preference for contracts organised by retail companies over those organised by governments. Furthermore, results show that a stronger relative productivist identity reduces the likelihood to participate in the proposed agri-environment contracts.

New paper in the #JARE 📄 🥳 To celebrate 50 years of the Journal of #Agricultural and #Resource #Economics, we contributed our paper "Advancing Agri-Environmental Policy with Behavioral and Experimental Economics: Insights, Innovations, and Future Directions" to the latest special issue. 1/4

Advancing Agri-Environmental Policy with Behavioral and Experimental Economics: Insights, Innovations, and Future Directions

In recent years, behavioral and experimental economics have increasingly shaped agrienvironmental research by revealing how farmers navigate complex decisions. This article reviews key developments in three areas: behavioral insights into farmers’ social, temporal, and risk preferences and identities, norms, and motivations; experimental methods for assessing behavior and policy impacts; and methodological advances enhancing scientific rigor. We highlight contributions to more behaviorally informed agri-environmental policies, including nudges, participatory approaches, and innovative schemes. Looking forward, priorities include large-scale collaborative studies, stronger stakeholder involvement, and integrating behavioral evidence into policymaking, addressing challenges such as farmer fatigue, to design adaptive, effective, and legitimate policies.
