The first “removal” (if this stands) of a Federal Reserve Board Governor in the institution’s 112 year history. Totally unprecedented. No due process. A totally authoritarian move.

Losing a job is intensely stressful, and often has consequences for behavior and mental health. But some of its psychological effects may run counter to expectations. www.chicagobooth.edu/review/job-l... via Booth's @abbysussman.bsky.social

Our statement on the ICE arrest of Palestinian activist and Columbia University student protest leader, Mahmoud Khalil:

New paper: We combine evidence from a survey (correlational), bank spending data, and online experiments to show that job loss increases risk taking. Joint work with @abbysussman.bsky.social, Carlos Vazquez-Hernandez, Daniel O'Leary, and Jennifer Trueblood

1 December 1942 | A transport of 532 Norwegian Jews deported from Bergen arrived at #Auschwitz. SS doctors sent 186 men to be registered in the camp. The remaining 346 people were murdered in a gas chamber. Among them were Olga Wulff and her daughter Doris.

How did changing the riskiness of a choice impact the gender gap in willingness to ask? My new paper in MS with Alex Willén finds gender gaps widen, which benefits men more. The gap is likely driven by gender differences in beliefs. pubsonline.informs.org/doi/epdf/10....

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.

Great thread Sam! I’d add that everyone should read Tversky, Sattath, and Slovic (1988), Psych Rev for theorizing on why different “response modes” might lead to different preference orderings. psycnet.apa.org/record/1988-...

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.

Excited that my paper "Ownership, Learning, and Beliefs" with @aleximas.bsky.social and Sam Hartzmark got honorable mention for best JDM paper of 2021 at SJDM 2024. TLDR: People have more extreme reactions to information owned goods compared with the same information about a nonowned good

Forthcoming in the AER: "Dynamic Inconsistency in Risky Choice: Evidence from the Lab and Field" by Rawley Heimer, Zwetelina Iliewa, Alex Imas, and Martin Weber. www.aeaweb.org/articles?id=...

As a Jew and grandson of a holocaust survivor and a German refugee this is incredibly chilling to me

199 hostages! 199 kidnapped! And that’s not even the final number. stories.bringthemhomenow.net

Hi, #EconSky 📉📈 ! I am on the job market this year, so in the spirit of “hire me, please” energy, I’ll be sharing a short run-down of some of my work (since starting my post-doc in 2021). I have broad interests, but I generally call myself an applied labor & public economist.

The submission portal is now open for the Judgment & Decision Making pre-conference at #SPSP2024! It's on Feb 8 in San Diego & we have a great line-up of speakers. Accepting submissions for data blitz and posters. Co-organizers: Alice Moon & @HirshmanSam spsp.wufoo.com/forms/s1uauf...

Still crazy to me that people whose work I read and admired in undergrad know who I am
