🌍Do all nations believe they’re superior—or do some feel inferior? Western social sciences claimed the first. But Fanon & Memmi argued colonization by the West left many in the Global South with colonial mentality—internalized oppression. 🧵Findings from our 45-country study:

Excellent presentation by Robert Huber on a paper on ‘The Role of Behavioral and Social Factors in Agent-Based Models for Agricultural Policy Evaluations’ at the 18th EAAE Congress in a great session on ‘Behavioural Experimental Methods & Modelling’ @robehube.bsky.social

So true #EAAE2025

The #REECAP Session on 'How to Deal with null-results?' is over crowded. Very cool that so many researchers are interested in this issue. #EAAE2025

Hey #EAAE2025: Thursday is replication day. First, Anna Dreber's keynote on "Predicting Replication Outcomes" (11am) & our session👇(4pm) feat. ‪@robertfinger.bsky.social‬ @cedricchambru.bsky.social‬ @jensrommel.bsky.social‬ ‪@beta1hat.bsky.social‬ @mabuchner.bsky.social‬ ‪@i4replication.bsky.social‬

The open access movement has been captured by the publishers, and the journal system is worse than ever. Suggestions like open review do nothing to make research or peer review better, nothing to break the bullshit of rewarding people for simply publishing, right or wrong. Where is our courage?

Officially job-seeking (certified by the Federal Employment Agency). So if anyone happens to know of any exciting jobs for an agricultural or applied micro economists... I'll be available soon. 💚😜 #EconSky #AgEcon #Job

Our paper 'Open science in agricultural economics’ is now finally published in an issue in Q Open Joint with @arne-henningsen.bsky.social J Höhler @robehube.bsky.social @jensrommel.bsky.social & C Grebitus Open Access: doi.org/10.1093/qope... Special issue academic.oup.com/qopen/issue/...

I really appreciate the #OpenScience Focus within the #REECAP Community. Thus, props to Julian Sagebiel's effort to design a #preregistration particular for #DCE s. Really important to enhance #research integrity, reliability and #statistical inference 2/2 github.com/sagebiej/pre...

Back from #REECAP which was hosted by the @idiv-research.bsky.social this year. I just hope that I have the opportunity to participate next year again. 1/2

Nudges may shift behaviour as intended on average but that does not necessarily mean a welfare increase, research by Allcott et al suggests—nudges can affect the variance of choice distortions and under certain conditions average effects become irrelevant: buff.ly/4eSHaWU

Der Jugendclub "Jamm" in #Senftenberg wurde von einer Horde von 40 Faschos angegriffen. Zum Glück reagierten die Mitarbeiter*innen geistesgegenwärtig. Die 1990er sind endgültig zurück. Inklusive des Nichtstuns der herrschenden Politik. Bis es wieder Tote gibt.
