If you're like me + hopelessly behind on learning about AI. . .here's a quick summary 🧵on the new paper by Chang et al. @Econ_4_Everyone summarizing 12 best practices for leveraging generative AI in experimental research: some ideas to get started! nber.org/papers/w33025


Aside from @DAcemogluMIT’s amazing record (I once posited to an advisor that he might be a robot), it’s wonderful to see this!

If there was a Nobel Prize for advising, Daron Acemoglu would likely win that too. In 2018, @dongheejo68 and I mapped out his past advisees. 117 since 1994, or roughly 5 per year (~1/4 of a typical cohort!) [1/2]

Psychologists have posited hundreds of cognitive biases over the years. A fascinating new paper argues that they all boil down to one of a handful of fundamental beliefs coupled with confirmation bias. stevestewartwilliams.com/p/one-bias-to-…

Fed Govt to boost childcare subsidy for 2nd (or additional) child in care. Cap removed for high income families. Boost roughly $550m pa or 5%. A significant cut to EMTRs for these multiple child families. smh.com.au/politics/feder…

The best tweet I’ve seen today:

Lovely to have all these new followers .. can we just check that you know that you’re following The World Wide Robin Hood Society in Nottingham and not the Robin Hood App .. if so .. a big welcome from Sherwood 🙌

Working on a paper and felt like I was repeating certain words too many times. It didn't occur to me until today that there's a quick #rstats way of checking this! https://t.co/roKyuMkfnM

The key idea of behavioural economics and nudging is that our choices are strongly influenced by context - yet there has been little systematic exploration of the broader environment in which decisions are made. Some ideas for how to it in this article 👇 squarepeginsight.com/post/context-i…

Good science: when the data contradicts your theory, you adjust the theory. Anti science: when the data contradicts your theory, you criticize the focus on data. wsj.com/articles/how-e…


An interesting way to start the year, indeed! #GameStop forbes.com/sites/antoineg…

There's a gender gap in self-promotion on STEM tasks: women self-promote less than men. On verbal tasks, it disappears but doesn't flip. @JuddKessler & C Exley show this is about more than confidence or incentives. Solution: end self evaluation. Takeaways from @ChangeBcfg seminar

Please retweet: Professors: several of you said you want to open your online classes to a few guest students from low-income countries. If you want to join, please comment here or DM me; we’re working on a way to make it easy for you and will contact you to help set it up!

Many organizations are now building internal #rstats packages📦, but optimal design / engineering decisions differ from open source In this new post based on my #rstudioglobal talk, I explore strategies for API design, docs, testing, and more! (1/3) emilyriederer.netlify.app/post/team-of-p…


My amazing former boss is hiring RAs:

I was planning to write something like this at one stage but thankfully @ChrisAdamsEcon has done it for me! Looks great:

You can get the book in Google’s eBook form: play.google.com/store/books/de…



A very fun thread to read:

What do you think I should work on this year? (Super casual twitter poll, might follow up with something more formal but want to hear your ideas)
