A review of Ivan Moscati's book (The history and methodology of expected utility), by Nicola Giocoli https://buff.ly/42Sg8e8

I was just told that I have to remove “climate” from the title of an ongoing grant if I want to keep it. And publications from that grant cannot include “climate” and other forbidden words. I can’t believe I’m writing this from the United States of America. #AcademicSky

I’m very glad that Nicola (@ngiocoli.bsky.social) generally liked my book on the The History and Methodology of Expected Utility (Cambridge UP) and I agree with him that Savage’s motivations should have been clarified better. Read Nicola's review in the EJHET: www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Here is an interesting special issue for both #philsci & #econsky bringing together economists and philosophers of economics on the uses and epistemic value of idealized economic models. www.tandfonline.com/toc/rjec20/3...

In collaboration with Luca Congiu (University of Rome Tor Vergata), we are conducting an experimental study to test whether presenting probabilities pictorially reduces the prevalence of choice patterns in line with the Allais paradox.

Navigating the regulations of Italian public universities to pay experimental subjects was challenging, but we successfully found a solution.

Everything is nearly ready to launch the first experiments at the Insubria Experimental Economics (InExEc) Research Center: www.uninsubria.it/ricerca/stru...
