The distributional effects of technology depend more on which workers have tasks that get automated than on the fact of automation per se, from @professor_ajay, @joshgans, and @avicgoldfarb nber.org/papers/w31767

Gigantic meta analysis of a massive research area. Can't imagine the amount of work and care this took! Glad two folks, #evanweingarten & @DanSchley , are crazy enough to take this on!
The anchoring effect has been one of the most far-reaching phenomena across the behavior sciences with a history spanning 50 years. Have you every been curious what we have learned over these decades? Take a look at our new preprint: psyarxiv.com/teq7k/

My dissertation is published! We find that choosing healthy foods for children can unintentionally backfire on parents’ own healthy eating. Simple interventions can nudge healthy eating for children AND parents. #parenting #healthykids #nudges @PeggyJLiu @LingLZhou @KelleySchool
New JMR article available: "Sharing Food Can Backfire: When Healthy Choices for Children Lead Parents to Make Unhealthy Choices for Themselves" Read it here: buff.ly/3Lg2W9n

Really cool recent research by @katechristens and @ProfShu about how a seller’s heritage connection affects their behavior in the resale market. To quote Kate, who quoted William Faulkner: ‘The past is never dead. It’s not even past.’
A new Journal of Marketing Research study shows how sellers accept lower prices on items when the buyer demonstrates a connection with them, having fascinating implications for markets that involve #resale. @katechristens @ProfShu #marketing #realestate futurity.org/vintage-deals-2…

What's the ideal range of the y-axis? Cool paper by @JessiWittPhD compellingly argues against common recommendation to show the full range of the outcome variable on the y-axis. Instead, center the graph on the grand mean and extend the y-axis .75SDs in either direction. [1/5]

A cohort-based analysis of 1,000 individuals in Chicago suggests that social change – changes in policing strategies, technology use, peer conflict – may explain decreasing offender rates better than individual-based predictors of crime. In PNAS: ow.ly/FQu250FESY2

The things one finds when cleaning out one’s office upon retirement. #HistoryOfJDM Remember that famous conference that brought economists and psychologists together, and was published in book form in 1986 edited by Hogarth & Reder? @dilipsoman

Coding is more about communicating than computing. New data: the best predictor of how quickly people learned to code wasn't math or cognitive ability, but language aptitude. Math skill was almost irrelevant. Coding is mastering a language, not numbers. nature.com/articles/s41598-0…

New research with @Zberry37 @lauramgiurge & @DollyChugh is out in Nature: Human Behaviour! We test a way to increase the inclusion of female candidates on informal shortlists generated for male-dominant roles: make the list longer. rdcu.be/cdMns

Today President Biden wants to remove the word "alien" from US immigration laws & replace it with the word "noncitizen". Our work on the immigrant labeling effect, led by @jruck_psych, shows how & why that will make a real difference. @ProfQuintanilla bit.ly/3bZ1XJA
