Cognitive fatigue is assumed to affect moral judgment, but what about physical fatigue? Research with athletes and firefighters by Stefanczyk et al suggests it is unaffected: buff.ly/34KazhT

Research by Milczarski et al into a potential foreign language effect on risk aversion suggests (a) there is no foreign language effect and (b) verbal probability expressions (“likely” v “70% chance”) eliminate risk aversion (!) buff.ly/N8Cvlhj

For those keeping track of replication rates across fields:
experimental asset market research is looking at a cool 21.4% replication rate.

I feel a bit like this about open science. The reforms will likely lead to positive outcomes, even if we overestimate their ability to solve our problems (e.g., replication crisis)
The open science movement got us to THINK about what we're doing. That's a positive spin-off if nothing else.

Thinking about #ReverseVampires, here's what we can conclude:
1. They love sunshine.
2. They enjoy garlic.
3. Really good at crossing moving water.
4. Especially good at reflecting in mirrors.
My CONCLUSION: The Reverse Vampires are just Italians.

Here is your reminder that one of the most cited papers published in the Journal of Management reports apparently fabricated results that the journal knows to be statistically impossible. It is the same paper that the journal gave an award to and refuses to correct or retract.

These two papers, taken together, really cause a rethinking of behavioral economies.
Rather than having anomalous risk preferences; it looks like people have complexity aversion to "hard" decisions, especially on valuation, which drives behavioral anomalies. Herbert Simon ftw.
