One of the reasons Barcelona won the league in 92 and 93.

🚨New paper🚨

Classic rational inattention says people weigh costs vs. benefits when processing info.

We show that overprecision biases this evaluation — leading to misallocated attention.

I will only watch if the main character has a cunning Oxbridge accent.

😂😂😂

Ctrl+f for the word "Delve" if there, its chatgpt.

Do captchas work for this?

If Gropius ever had a nightmare, it would be this house.

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate and Google backed chatbots ranting incomprehensibly about dildos. All those moments will be lost in time... like tears in rain.

Dynamic stupidity?

The whole five minutes are shocking.

His greek mythology proved unsurmountable for me. But will try this, sounds interesting!

Here, just for you. I learnt with this that whether the card is upside down or upright is also part of the game.

Very nice infographics!

That is an ambitious objective! But I must confess I would also love to include "the wrath of God" in one of my titles

Petition to change the paper title to "The Lies of Others"

Haha, you are now officially in my "title consultants" list.

Dammit! You are right, of course.

I blame it on the long lasting results of the new year celebrations :(

The second result is especially relevant given the history of mass surveillance in the GDR, highlighting how socio-political contexts can shape individual preferences and behavior.

Finally, let me apologize in advance for the least readable tables you might have ever seen! 😖

As expected, observability reduces the amount of lying, but *who* is most affected by this observability?

Our results show that two types of people are most affected by observability:

1) Females
2) Old citizens of the GDR

🚨🚨New Paper Alert🚨🚨

We embed a within-subject experiment with two lying paradigms in the 2020 German Socio-Economic Panel.

The difference between paradigms? *Observability* 🔍

In one, we know if you lied to win more money; in the other, we do not.

Apparently the most risk seeking people!

Jokes aside, for BER depending on the time and season it would not be crazy. You can try and book a security slot (which I always try to do), but that is minimum 60 minutes before departure for Schengen.

Of course, I am making the heroic assumption of no delays from Deutsche Bahn.

Door to door from Econ dept at Humboldt to Paris School of Econ (whatever google maps tells me it is) takes 9 hours.

With airplane its aprox 6:30 hours assuming you arrive 90min early, 30 to disembark, and not checking luggage.

Not a slam dunk for flying, moreso if direct flights are low cost.

I do know it! Great stuff, Santi really does amazing work. For now you just need to know how to say "felicidades, Santi!"

Charlie Chaplin - Factory Scene - Modern Times (1936) YouTube video by Charlie Chaplin

This might sound obvious, and most likely in there, but for mass production/industrialization: youtu.be/6n9ESFJTnHs?...

Also covers great depression, unemployment, and first time public heard Chaplin's voice :)

Was also thinking of Robinson Crusoe/Castaway for specialization.

Do you want to elicit distributions in surveys and/or experiments using a simple and intuitive tool?

Spread the joy of eliciting those higher moments! 🚀✨

Peer effects on worker output in the laboratory generalize to the field Lab experiments and real-world observations are in agreement that people work harder when they work together. [Also see Perspective by Charness and Fehr]
