After Trump´s disgraceful behavior last week, we thought we need to do something to help Ukraine directly. And you can help too…

Georg Weizsäcker @georgweizsaecker.bsky.social · Mar 3

If one person gives a euro to Ukraine, the result is €1.

If two people give 2 each, it is €4.

If 3,000 give 3,000 each, it is 9 million.

Let’s coordinate, here 👇

and please re-post to spread the word.

📣 New paper! "Delegate Pricing Decisions to an Algorithm? Experimental Evidence" with @normann.bsky.social, Nina Rulié, & @ostypa.bsky.social

We study what happens when humans delegate to a collusive algorithm, and AI pricing adoption becomes a strategic choice!

arXiv: arxiv.org/abs/2510.27636

Delegate Pricing Decisions to an Algorithm? Experimental Evidence

Here is a rock song "HC1 Heartbreak" (MP3 and Lyrics)

based on my research paper arxiv.org/abs/2411.14763 on robust standard errors and large scale methodological replications. Made with Suno and ChatGPT. AI amazes me again and again.

From Replications to Revelations: Heteroskedasticity-Robust Inference

Analysing the Stata regression commands from 4,420 reproduction packages of leading economic journals, we find that, among the 40,571 regressions specifying heteroskedasticity-robust standard errors, ...

I'd love to help make BlueSky one of the places where young scholars introduce themselves and their work to the world.

If you're a PhD student whose work at least partially focuses on economics of education or education policy, reply to this thread and I'll highlight your work.

I am actually sad to have to say this since I have admired much about Disney CEO Bob Iger over the years, but what a profoundly quisling move this is by someone who knows better. It’s shameful and he has tarnished his once proud reputation.

On the other hand, universities save the subscription fee for the journal. But I guess that any university that publishes just one article per year will pay more than before. Or am I overlooking something?

Jörg Oechssler @oechssler.bsky.social · Jun 17

So our society journal "Experimental Economics" will now be open access. But authors or, as in my case, their universities will have to pay Article Processing Charges of about $3500 for each article published. Is that a good deal for us?

Springer-Nature launched a series of "Discover" journals that closely mimic MDPI titles -- sharing *identical* journal names, and likely similar business model.

What is going on, and why researcher will - as always - fall for it?
