Started my new gig at Purdue University this week! Oh and I guess I moved to America.

We are hiring! We are seeking expressions of interest for appointment as Full Professor in the Department of Economics at Monash University. DM me if you have questions. econjobmarket.org/positions/11...

I'm really sad that @gpioxford.bsky.social is shutting its doors soon. A unique institute in how it motivated big research questions in phil, econ, and psych. I owe a lot of my academic journey to GPI! Also, their econ pre-doc program was incredible. Constantly had great placements. #econsky

A short summary of recent work with Aidan Coville and @sampada.bsky.social on the large amount of weight policymakers place on local evidence, now out at the JDE: evavivalt.com/2025/05/how-...

For those who teach Behavioral Econ, what textbook/s do you use? #econsky

Just got cooked by my mum 😭

Outrageous stuff from Declan Rice.

I'm thrilled to announce that I'll be joining Purdue University as a Clinical Assistant Professor in Economics! I feel very fortunate to be an academic and can't wait to teach, as well as continue conducting research at a place with such a rich history in Experimental Econ. #econsky

📢 Working paper w/ @benleoecon.bsky.social, Johannes Lohse, and Oliver Hauser! Some have proposed that you can get current generations to invest in the future by enabling future generations to give back. We test this in an experiment with sequential "generations" of players. 🧵 #EconTwitter

LSE's @eapower.bsky.social is seeking a postdoc to model the impacts of social networks and reputation on inequality. Very cool opportunity. jobs.lse.ac.uk/Vacancies/W/...

🚨New WP🚨 Problem: Altruism alone isn't enough to sufficiently invest in future generations. We find: Allowing for cooperation with both the previous generation (as well as the future generation) increases investment in future generations. papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

Around 4 percent of GDP was spent to mitigate deaths from Covid-19; AI's existential risk is arguably at least as large, from Charles I. Jones https://www.nber.org/papers/w33602

This is a great innovation. Important to create and extend discussions around important topics within econ. I hope this becomes normalised and is adopted by other journals.

I have a postdoc position in Behavioral/Experimental Economics available for 6 years, at the oldest university in Germany in beautiful Heidelberg. Please forward to anyone who might be interested! #EconJobs #AcademicJobs #HigherEd #Economics #JobAlert

The academic job market can be very stressful. If you're struggling to cope or just need someone to talk to or vent your frustrations, feel free to reach out - shared pain is half the pain. You're not alone in this. #EconJMP #EconSky

We're so back!

Fantastic article by @dylanmatt.bsky.social in response to the recent NYT article. www.vox.com/future-perfe...

A very nice journey with a great ending: In a new paper, @NikoletaGlyn describes how longer memory allows people to sustain reciprocal cooperation. For details, see 🧵 below 👇 Paper: www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Thirteen years ago today, I donated a kidney to a stranger, starting a chain w/ 6 recipients. It felt like a great deal: with modest risks, I could give someone many more years of healthy life. Looking back, I'm glad I did it, but I understated both the risks and the benefits. 🧵

This is fantastic! I also like the following bit of transparency (used to establish priority of replications). "You are encouraged (but not required) to pre-submit a brief abstract to the European Economic Review prior to conducting the study...."

@mdrouvelis.bsky.social and I co-edit a special section on experimental replications at European Economic Review. We are eagerly waiting for your replications of lab and online experiments. Please get in touch if you have any questions. #econsky

Postdoctoral position available in Animal Welfare Economics at Toulouse School of Economics, to look at how to extend social welfare functions to include animals. They're particularly looking for expertise in welfare theory. Deadline: Jan 10, 2025. econjobmarket.org/positions/11...

Hi #EconSky while overleaf forces us to take a break, What are your preferred survey questions to elicit 1️⃣ procrastination? 2️⃣ sophistication about procrastination? 3️⃣ forgetfulness 4️⃣ sophistication about forgetfulness Thank you 🙏

Overleaf is down!

Thanks so much for sharing my JMP @sweiwang.bsky.social! I'm really excited about this project and the research agenda as a whole. Always happy to discuss (and do research on) Repugnance, or more generally Morals and Markets.

We show using DOSE elicitation on representative sample that about half of the US is loss-tolerant, not loss averse. Importantly, this measure correlates with reported gambling and investing behavior so likely not a figment of our method. @cfcamerer.bsky.social academic.oup.com/restud/advan...

Some of the most important lottery anomalies from the behavioral risk literature (e.g., probability weighting and loss aversion) actually have nothing to do with risk. They also arise in perfectly deterministic settings. Lead article in the latest AER issue: www.aeaweb.org/articles?id=...

Turns out this exists!

There should be a 'Super-Signal' feature on the EconJobMarket website, like a Superlike on dating apps. You only get one, but you can use it on one of your applications to signal that you really want that position. #econsky

Question for those who read JM applications: What's the biggest mistake that JMC's make with their applications?

Since I've been here for a while… here are some useful features on Bluesky that you might not have discovered yet! 🧵

I have made a starter pack for experimental economics. Please let me know if you would like to be added or deleted from the list. Thank you. go.bsky.app/2U7CMUC #Econsky

Bluesky has escaped the Malthusian Trap!

This is an important paper. Definitely putting this on the to-read pile. Looks like decision markets (different from prediction markets), are a useful tool for replication and scientific advancement!

📢Excited to share our latest publication in @natureportfolio.bsky.social Nature Human Behaviour: "Examining the replicability of online experiments selected by a decision market." Read the full paper here: 🔓https://www.nature.com/articles/s41562-024-02062-9 A short summary...👇 (1/n)

Hey #econsky is there a starter pack for experimental economists?

That's so kind of you to say, Ben! Instructors who haven't had a chance to acquaint themselves with the book yet can request an inspection copy here: www.bloomsbury.com/uk/course-in...

Erik's textbook for Behavioural Econ is my personal favourite. Highly recommend it to Lecturers designing/teaching their own courses!

My favourite thing about bluesky is that there is zero slop! It has the feel of old econtwitter. I still have some issues with moving across completely, but this is definitely encouraging.

When I hear the term "starter pack", I instantly think of pokemon cards.

Pls re-skeet for reach: CALL FOR PAPERS for a special issue of EER in honor of Nora Szech editors: S. Huck, N. Schweizer, M. Serra-Garcia #econsky 📉📈 www.sciencedirect.com/journal/euro...

Excited to announce that I'm on the academic job market for 2024-2025! Looking forward to having the opportunity to talk about my JMP on 'Repugnant Markets' (first image), as well as my other research projects. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you want to know more!

My first time logging on here in forever! What's the vibe on bluesky these days?
