On AI more broadly, expectations seem remarkably dispersed. One view I found especially helpful (hat off to Dacheng Xiu): GenAI as a prior(!) for human reasoning. This is arguably the first time in history that evidence-based priors are broadly available.

I was particularly struck by papers that use AI tools to examine high-dimensional behavioral primitives (shout out to Suproteem Sarkar), methods that genuinely expand what we can learn not just how fast we can learn it.

Leaving the #ASSA2026 meeting with a strong sense of where finance scholarship is heading - more data (more granular, broader international coverage), more experimentation, more serious engagement with AI and a great new outlet for publications.

Moral concerns about layoffs and increasing CEO pay dominate shareholder preferences (across the political spectrum). Great article about a new paper by Elisabeth Kempf, Oliver Spalt and myself: www.promarket.org/2025/02/18/c...

As a journal editor for a few decades I find it pleasing to watch scholars mature. They eventually realize that journal refeering is not about how many papers they can knock down but how many they can lift up.

Are corporate actions evaluated by investors and stakeholders as financial or moral issues? Which textbook corporate actions are the biggest moral issue and why? Our results will be presented later today, come by to discuss. #ASSAMeeting #ASSA2025

Kicking off ASSA with an inspiring session on the methodology of measuring beliefs. Showcased behavioral weaknesses of scoring rules: 70%(!) violate its reduction assumption. Showed that people exert way more effort when being TOLD what to do, no incentives at all. www.aeaweb.org/conference/2...

New year, new resolutions. If your resolutions this year address your risk-taking behavior (financial investments or otherwise), make sure they are „set in stone“. Our newest AER paper on how and why are weak resolutions about risk-taking harmful for your utility: www.aeaweb.org/articles?id=...

I disagree here. The papers are interesting as @aleximas.bsky.social has pointed out (bsky.app/profile/alex...), but differences in elicitation producing preference reversals predates Prospect Theory. If you don't know Lichtenstein & Slovic (1971) and Grether and Plott (1979), read below.

👇 As part of our Berlin-wide cooperation, we are looking to fill 2 multi-year postdoc positions at Humboldt U, at least one of them in behavioral economics. Come work with us! (Berlin ... behavioral ... it's serious but won't even feel like work...) #EconJobmarket #EconSky

Wow! And that’s another comparison that I will definitely highlight in my class. Everyone knows Akerlof… I mean, my son’s pre-K teacher knows of Akerlof conceptually. But PT is exotic even on PhD level. What gives?!

Zwetelina Iliewa @ziliewa.bsky.social · 09/11/2024

Thanks for pointing it out! I am definitely including the ranking when I talk about prospect theory in my PhD class from now on.

Without looking I would have guessed Akerlof 1970 QJE and Markowitz 1952 JF
