By the way, a week ago, I defended my dissertation - credit is due to the best committee who have inspired and supported me throughout these crazy years (@saumjha.bsky.social, @Steve, and @Vicky, in a purely alphabetical order). Next stop: TBA once a visa gets approved (nothing new under the sun).

It’s been a really tough day for anyone with family and friends in South Asia as the lights go out and people appear to be preparing for war. Our dog Kaylo seems to have sensed this and established a new kennel spot under my desk. The chances for miscalculation are just too high.

Furthermore, these effects appear most pronounced among political partisans, and increase even among those whose investments happen not to do well.

Thus trust is not only a cause but can also be an effect of financial market participation.

Saumitra Jha @saumjha.bsky.social · 11/01/2025

We argue financial markets can allow people to invest in mutually beneficial ways in the endeavors of anonymous others. We show that experimentally assigning individuals to trade in financial markets increases generalized trust by ~6pp or 25%.

Saumitra Jha @saumjha.bsky.social · 11/01/2025

How can societies increase generalized trust? Trust is crucial for prosperity but varies dramatically & persistently around the world. Yet in an article just out in the JPubEcon, @chagaiweiss.bsky.social Moses Shayo & I show that experimentally varying exposure to financial markets increases trust
