Research scandals make headlines, but that AI materials science paper is still just the tip of the iceberg @ryancbriggs.net walks through the gauntlet of issues in the research published in even our most reputable peer-reviewed journals asteriskmag.com/issues/10/ca...

If you want to work with me and an amazing team of behavioral scientists and other colleagues on improving health decisions, please consider joining our group at Geisinger as a staff scientist!

From time to time I read a paper so clear and full of insight that I know immediately it will change the way I see a topic. This is one of them.

🚨 Rethinking Moral Hazard: Moral hazard in health insurance—the increased spending that comes when you get insured—is usually seen as wasteful due to insurance’s price distortion. This paper challenges that view.

Do regret lotteries work for behavior change? Not really. Regret lotteries either perform worse or at best, as good, as simpler incentives. Also very sensitive to implementation details. Nice write up of our paper w @felipeaaraujo.bsky.social & A. Wilson. www.chicagobooth.edu/review/do-re...

Global Collaboration Opportunity: If you are (or know someone) from a country often missed in research, and are interested in a global study on mental health like this one, please write to me! We have many team members in Europe and English-speaking countries, but would love to involve many more!

Totally agree with @shengwuli.bsky.social. The broader point is that I think we need to directly address the elephant in the room: the *huge* impact of context--i.e., seemingly irrelevant factors--on choice and beliefs. 🧵 on the behavioral economics of context, with some new data at the end.

Take it from @arpitrage.bsky.social, not me :)

I'm thrilled that our paper on base-rate neglect (BRN) and on-the-job experience (w/ @cfchabris.bsky.social and @michellemeyer.bsky.social) was just accepted at Management Science! TLDR: on-the-job experience with base-rate type problems mitigates, but does not eliminate, base-rate neglect. 1/7
