Fly away, little paper that has been on my mind and desk since forever.
Happy that our paper “Envy in the ballot box” is now out in European Economic Review, as part of the excellent special issue in memory of Nora Szech. sciencedirect.com/science/ar… 1/5
4/5 Importantly, voting did not simply make people more altruistic or more equality-oriented.
The effect was specific to situations where participants were worse off than others — and strongest when leveling down came at little personal cost.
5/5 interpretation: Just like in "Morals and Markets" voting can diffuse personal responsibility.
When responsibility is shared, peope become more willing to support choices that improve relative standing at the expense of collective welfare. science.org/doi/10.1126/scie…
Across two preregistered experiments, we find no consistent effect of monetary incentive schemes on prosocial behavior in standard economic | Experimental Economics | Cambridge Core - cup.org/4u92EoO
Is research ethics universal—or discipline-specific? Surveying 11,000+ researchers & ethics reviewers, we uncover systematic field differences in attitudes toward QRPs, with medical researchers the strictest. New @jedilab_liu paper out in Research Policy sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

New paper out! We examine urban–rural tensions in Sweden, testing whether place identities and resentment shape how people evaluate political statements.

🔔 New paper alert!
Scientists often juggle what’s best for science vs. their careers—a tradeoff between communitarian & individualistic ideals.
We call this scientific normative dissonance.
Study by @linakoppel @amandalinki maps it across academia:

Researchers in psychology showed slightly lower normative dissonance than those in economics & business—especially on whether research should be judged on merit (universalism) or reputation (particularism).
Albeit sample size was modest.

People approach risky decisions differently when deciding for themselves than for others, the assumption goes.
Research by @lewendm—with 3 samples of professional decision makers and a general one—finds ~no significant evidence this is the case (!)

Honestly, I think our new paper has serious implications for experimental econ
22–27% failed comprehension in the Dictator and Ultimatum games
In the Trust Game and Public Goods Game, that number hit 70% and 52%
These are foundational tools of exp econ

🧵
5/6 Participants who failed comprehension often appeared more prosocial.
Higher giving in Dictator and more contribution in the Public Goods game.
Confusion doesn’t just cloud results—it shapes them.
6/6 This paper was really hard to place in journals focused on experimental econ.
That could mean:
1️ It’s a bad study.
2️ Or... it’s a tough pill to swallow.
