I like Ryan’s paper and (obviously) I think complexity matters for behavior. But I think Florian’s updating too much from one experiment. I want to see replications and results from ‘nearby’ designs before saying the lottery anomalies have nothing to do with risk.

Health economics is doing something right (via @prashantgarg.bsky.social @trfetzer.com www.causal.claims)
We observe a general decrease of null results across most fields in the post-2000 period. 

    Highest levels: Fields such as Econometrics and Behavioural Economics report higher shares of null results.

    Health Economics shifted from least to one of the highest reporter of Nulls.
