Hi #EconSky, Not sure if the Starter Pack party's over, but I've made an Econ Starter Pack of Starter Packs! 😄 It's a work in progress, so I may have missed some. Let me know if there's anything to add—DMs are open! Thanks for support @economista.bsky.social! docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

🎯Policy Implications: If information needs to be transmitted within the household, target the expert spouse. If no expert exists, targeting one spouse is not enough! [10/10] Want to know more? Read here: tinyurl.com/3n3c7ajf 📌Website: sites.google.com/view/priyoma...

⚙️Mechanism: Mutual recognition of expertise can facilitate communication. In gender-neutral domain, participants cannot assess who is better: they rely on inferior guess 48% of the time. In gendered domain, the rate of relying on inferior guesses is half of that! [8/10]

📈Result 2.2: After a discussion (i.e., Guess 2 performance), this advantage disappears. ❌ ➡️ Information pooling is successful in the presence of expertise! [7/10]

Gender-neutral domain: in a ball-in-urn task, I vary the source of new information to be either self or spouse. [3/10]

In both domains, each spouse makes TWO guesses. Before Guess 2, each spouse receives new information. ❓Explore how this new information is incorporated into one’s Guess 2. [2/10]

Lab-in-field experiment to study information pooling across two different information domains: 1️⃣ Gender-neutral domain, where neither spouse is better informed 2️⃣ Gendered domain, where each spouse is better informed in their gender-congruent domain. [1/10]

I am on the #EconJobMarket ! 🚨 JMP Alert 🚨 Individuals fail to incorporate information held by their spouses. Is it because they are generally reluctant to learn from their spouse? In my #JMP, I show: NO! It's because communication is challenging in the absence of expertise. 🧵below:
