This study find large gender differences in willingness to point out.... a mistake in someone's work. I think I know why!

"The real threat is a slow, comfortable drift toward not understanding what you're doing. Not a dramatic collapse. Not Skynet. Just a generation of researchers who can produce results but can't produce understanding."

Economic outcomes often depend on the distribution of some maximum value (e.g. the highest valuation, best idea, or lowest cost). If the average number of options is large, do such outcomes change when some agents have more options than others? 1/ A thread about this paper 🧵

How do firms search for and screen workers? When do the best workers match with the best firms?

In NYC there is a shop selling cashmere sweaters for dogs, in Amsterdam there is a toothbrush shop. If you are a goth looking for a partner you should move to a city. Finally, there is a forthcoming JET paper explaining this www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

When is competition price‐increasing? The impact of expected competition on prices

Some of the most important lottery anomalies from the behavioral risk literature (e.g., probability weighting and loss aversion) actually have nothing to do with risk. They also arise in perfectly deterministic settings. Lead article in the latest AER issue: www.aeaweb.org/articles?id=...

Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) against women is a major public health and inequality concern. It's not clear what causes it or how to reduce it. Gaby Deschamps' JMP considers that IPV is positively correlated with motherhood, and asks if we can understand why. www.gabrieladeschamps.com/research

November 12, 1973 --- The day Philosophy & Public Affairs started treating Rawls like Jesus.
A letter on Philosophy & Public Affairs letterhead that reads:

November 12, 1973

Professor Robert Nozick
Department of Philosophy
Emerson Hall
Harvard University
Cambridge, Massachusetts 02138


Dear Professor Nozick,

I have been meaning to send you a note ever since you did not telephone the second time last week just to say that I decided after all to drop the offending post-apostrophes from the possessive of Rawls. This is, as I told you, according to the Chicago Manual of Style an honor due only to Moses and Jesus, but with us aesthetic considerations won out. The decision puts us somewhat in a class by ourselves -- I note that in Brian Barry's new book he and Oxford Press write Rawls's -- but I don't mind being different. I trust that you will not.

sincerely,
Margot Cutter
