Very proud of this paper!
Ending the week on a high note with our paper out in EER ( https://t.co/lgQsG3qZna) People follow random and social recommendations similarly. Three experiments reveal why. Collaboration with @Rebecca_LM and @DanaeArroyos @econ_ub. Thanks @eugen_dimant and other SI Editors!

New working paper at SSRN: https://t.co/xJwqU1jutE Do recommendations need to be social to work? Our two experiments suggest that social recommendations do not work better than random recommendations in the domains of risk and altruism. @Rebecca_LM and @DanaeArroyos @econ_ub

Another great experience working with @DanaeArroyos and Judith Covey!
Judith Covey, @Rebecca_LM and I recently got a paper published! We looked at whether the concern for efficiency, equity, self-interest and helping those most at risk changed after the outbreak of the pandemic. What do you think?

Helping me with an internal research proposal review. He rates it 9/10 but would prefer more analysis of snacks and naps.

Fantastic! Can’t wait to hear more!
After a discussion with the brilliant @Rebecca_LM a few months ago, I realised that we could potentially use #OPUF – a new method to elicit personal health preferences – to work out people's willingness to pay per QALY. The method+math are surprisingly straight forward... 1/2
