Do regret lotteries work for behavior change?
Not really. Regret lotteries either perform worse or at best, as good, as simpler incentives. Also very sensitive to implementation details.

The broader point is that I think we need to directly address the elephant in the room: the *huge* impact of context--i.e., seemingly irrelevant factors--on choice and beliefs.

I'm thrilled that our paper on base-rate neglect (BRN) and on-the-job experience (w/ @cfchabris.bsky.social and @michellemeyer.bsky.social) was just accepted at Management Science!
TLDR: on-the-job experience with base-rate type problems mitigates, but does not eliminate, base-rate neglect.
