📢 New paper out in the #JournalofHumanCapital with #AgataGalkiewicz and #ThomasSiedler Can starting an exam with a difficult question hurt students’ performance? We find no evidence that it does — even in incentivized assessments under time pressure.

Incentives to reproduce and replicate articles are so bad. Even when your comment leads to the retraction of a PLOS One article, the reward is a (10 days late) email with a thank you at the bottom. Retraction notice: journals.plos.org/plosone/arti.... But we are not complaining about PLOS One 🧵

C’est la Vie! How a popular West African edutainment series changed minds, but not behaviours
A West African TV series in Senegal led to short- and medium-term gains in knowledge and attitudes around violence against women and sexual and reproductive health, though impacts on behaviours were limited, and a podcast version extending content during COVID-19 was ineffective.

"Fog or smog?" 🌫️ My new paper in JEEM shows that exposure to Western TV in the former GDR created a lasting pro-environmental shift: ✅ More environmental concerns ✅ Increased activism ✅ Higher Green Party votes. 📄 Open Access: doi.org/10.1016/j.je... #PoliticalEconomy #Environment #JEEM
A screenshot of the first page of the paper "Fog or smog? The impact of uncensored reporting on pollution on individuals’ environmental preferences", published in the Journal of Environmental Economics and Management 138 (2026) 103325. Below the title, the author is listed as Sven A. Hartmann, with an affiliation to Trier University, Germany.

The image includes the abstract, which reads in full: "This paper analyzes the causal effect of exposure to uncensored environmental reporting on individuals’ environmental preferences and pro-environmental behavior. We exploit a natural experiment occurring in the German Democratic Republic, where geographic characteristics determined access to Western TV. Western media provided information on environmental pollution, a topic censored in East German state media. Using individual-level data from the German Socio-Economic Panel, we find a positive and persistent effect of Western TV exposure on environmental concerns and participation in environmental organizations. Complementing these findings, the analysis of county-level data reveals additional changes in pro-environmental behavior. Specifically, we show that Western TV induced GDR citizens to submit complaint letters on environmental issues to local authorities. Furthermore, regions with Western TV access exhibited stronger electoral support for the Green Party in the first two federal elections of reunited Germany. These results highlight the influential role of mass media in shaping both environmental preferences and corresponding behavior."
