This is paper is a good reminder that political scientists all too often think people care as much about politics as they do.
Do ordinary Republicans and Democrats really avoid each other in everyday life? In a new working paper with Delia Baldassarri, we present descriptive and experimental evidence to challenge the view that partisanship drives the formation of social relationships.

Claude code will inevitably reduce dramatically the hiring of undergraduate RAs which will further increase the gap between what students are taught and how we conduct research.

Any time I look to see what the Labour government is up to in the UK it turns out to be things like making posters that Alfonso Cuarón put in the background of the long tracking shot that opens “Children of Men”.

Prosocial acts attract social rewards—unless they also benefit you, when you get moral derogation instead.

Research by @shafenbraedl.bsky.social suggests this is because social rewards are treated as reserved for *genuine* costly prosocial actions:

Does anyone have good resources or papers that explain when to use matching versus weighting for causal identification, and how they differ conceptually?

You can totally point out that some aspects of AI are overhyped, you can believe that AGI is not possible, you can criticize how the companies and governments developing AI are using or being coopted by these tools. There is a lot to criticize.

But "it doesn't work and is fake" is just wrong now.
