Regarding trade -- our research shows that only 25% of Americans *disagree with the idea that international trade is zero-sum* — that if one country gains, another must lose. Most people either believe it is zero-sum or aren’t sure. socialeconomicslab.org/research/wor...

Thank you @harvardmagazine.bsky.social for covering our research on zero-sum thinking and how it informs current policy developments (with a video too)! www.harvardmagazine.com/2025/04/harv...

The zero-sum mindset seems more and more relevant in the current environment. Thank you @harvardmagazine.bsky.social for the video where I explain our research on why zero-sum thinking is so important and where it comes from. www.youtube.com/watch?v=e16o...

One challenge for trade policy, is that the benefits to consumers (like lower prices) feel vague & abstract—it's hard to see what we'd lose without free trade. Job threats feel immediate, driving support for protectionism. More recent on views on trade👇

1/19: Seems timely to share a paper which explores how people perceive & understand trade and trade policies. Which factors shape the support for different trade policies? Thread below with the key takeaways #EconTwitter 🧵, and full paper here: socialeconomicslab.org/understandin...

Why are we not doing more to fight climate change? New study surveys 40k people in 20 countries to understand 1/ what drives support/opposition to important climate policies 2/ how much people know about climate change & 3/ how info can change perceptions socialeconomicslab.org/internationa...

Super excited to see our paper on attitudes towards climate change out in the @aeajournals.bsky.social American Economic Review today! So much more work to do on this pressing issue--data is publicly available! Short summary thread coming!

Understanding causality vs. correlation is genuinely hard especially on complex topics like inflation. Our research finds that 60% of Americans think high interest rates cause high inflation & support rate cuts to fight it. But high rates usually respond to inflation,not cause it

📣We are pleased to share the report “Improving the Publication Process in Economics” by an ad-hoc joint AEA-EEA-ES-RES committee - Joseph Altonji, Kevin Lang, Erzo Luttmer, Imran Rasul, Stefanie Stantcheva, Romain Wacziarg and Guido Imbens. Read and share your views👉 buff.ly/4bg6xQi #EconSky

🚨 New data alert! Curious about how people really understand inflation—its causes, impacts & what governments should do about it? 📊 You can dive into the data from our project "People's understanding of inflation" here: socialeconomicslab.org/research/pub... Excited to see new analyses!

Very excited to see our paper on climate change forthcoming at the American Economic Review @aeajournals.bsky.social ! We study how people across 20 countries think about climate change and climate policies.

Delighted to highlight our research on social mobility at Davos #WEF2025. If there is one thing that generates consensus it's that equality of opportunity & more social mobility are good & important! www.weforum.org/meetings/wor...

Thrilled to see our paper published! Huge thanks to @aeajournals.bsky.social and everyone who supported this work! I'm immensely grateful to my amazing co-authors (especially @s-stantcheva.bsky.social and @adrien-fabre.bsky.social who are around here) 🥳 🥳

Thrilled to share my new paper for my Coase Lecture @LSEnews. I outline my thinking on perceptions & mindsets shaping our policy views- on taxation, climate change, inflation & trade. A wonderful opportunity to share recent research which I am grateful for socialeconomicslab.org/research/pub...

Les travaux de @s-stantcheva.bsky.social montrent aussi que nous ne sommes pas tous égaux face à l'inflation. Les ménages aisés absorbent mieux les chocs, tandis que les ménages modestes doivent consentir à des efforts disproportionnés, souvent au détriment de leur qualité de vie.

The Trap of Zero-Sum Thinking Zero-sum beliefs hinder collaboration. Viewing gender progress as a competition fosters division, turning shared goals into battles instead of opportunities for mutual success.

Something crucial missing in the inflation debate? The deep sense of inequity & injustice it creates. Lower-income households report making more costly adjustments to cope & many believe higher-income wages keep up with prices easily. For people, it’s about more than prices: it’s also about fairness

How can open-ended survey questions reveal deeper insights into economic behavior? Our completely revised paper (with new title!) explores recent developments, practical applications & best practices for designing & analyzing these powerful questions.

The economy is good! Wait, no, the economy is bad. Actually, what you think about it depends a lot on how you measure it. I talked to @s-stantcheva.bsky.social about her research on why we dislike inflation: www.sfchronicle.com/personal-fin...

Survey Explores Roots of Zero-Sum Thinking Harvard's Social Economics Lab surveyed Americans to understand how the belief that one group's gain is another's loss influences views on gender, race, income, and immigration. Read our Commentary by @s-stantcheva.bsky.social: aibm.org/commentary/b...

Younger Generations & Zero-Sum Thinking Younger people are more likely to see gender progress as zero-sum, with many believing #women’s wage gains hurt #men’s wages. Economic challenges may fuel these perceptions. By @s-stantcheva.bsky.social: aibm.org/commentary/beyond-zero-sum-thinking-on-gender

#GenderEquality Is Not Zero-Sum Gains for women aren’t losses for men and the opposite is also true. Shifting from competition to collaboration makes progress a win-win for all. Read our latest commentary by @s-stantcheva.bsky.social: aibm.org/commentary/beyond-zero-sum-thinking-on-gender/
