Very excited about this first episode with @sameyler.bsky.social! We have plans for many more, and I have a feeling this show will be a fascinating adventure that will bring a ton of value to my fellow economists. Give it a listen wherever you get your podcasts, and let us know what you think!

The best part of #science is the #process. In this case, it was spending some years learning from my smarter, more creative colleague @vinisingh.bsky.social while on a truly meaningful question. The paper also benefitted from a caring editor, good refs + copyediting by @standarderror.bsky.social.

This Standard Error Best Paper prize recognizes the authors’ outstanding empirical work and the direct applicability of their findings for improving patients’ health outcomes. 7/9

An implication is that strategically assigning patients to roommates who can support their care—instead of matching roommates on their cognitive status, the prevailing policy in many care facilities—can extend lives. 6/9

Standard Error Research Editors @standarderror.bsky.social · 23/06/2026

Patients without ADRD, in contrast, show no mortality effects from sharing a room with a peer affected by ADRD. The authors argue that peers contribute to health outcomes in nursing homes by monitoring and giving behavioral support to their cognitively impaired roommates. 5/9

110

Standard Error Research Editors @standarderror.bsky.social · 23/06/2026

The effects are driven by patients who themselves have ADRD, who—when assigned a cognitively well roommate—show mortality declines of 3.4 pp relative to those assigned a roommate also affected by ADRD and of 1.4 pp relative to ADRD patients assigned no roommate at all. 4/9

Standard Error Research Editors @standarderror.bsky.social · 23/06/2026

Assignment to a roommate with ADRD increases 90-day mortality from its baseline level for patients assigned no roommate by 7%—over 1 pp. This effect on patients’ mortality is the same as that of receiving care from a provider with half of a standard deviation poorer quality. 3/9

Standard Error Research Editors @standarderror.bsky.social · 23/06/2026

Their paper “Patient peer effects: Evidence from nursing home room assignments” finds large and significant effects of mortality from nursing home residents’ assignment to roommates with Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias (ADRD). 2/9

Winton argues that the policy helped correct a misallocation of workers’ labor and skills across the Jordanian labor market. Such a mechanism can account for the aggregate productivity gains that economists have long observed to follow immigration shocks. 6/10
