Very nice paper on the importance of shared context for communication.

The pairing of insightful theory + clean experiments is phenomenal here.

#eeac Day 5: Instead of @zwojo.bsky.social fascinating JMP "Context and Communication" I wanted to highlight another related provocative paper from him arxiv.org/pdf/2407.14452 on mental proofs and how AI might intervene in social contexts where mental proofs are crucial. #Econsky #econjmp

Curious about attention, but don’t have time to read 300 psych & econ articles?

We’ve got your back.

• Comprehensive overview of both literatures

• Novel resource-based definition of attention

• Implications for risk, time, health, finance, & more

• Promising directions for future research

This is the issue that the new cognitive turn in behavioral econ has to resolve head on.

Is the dimensionality of factors that the new frameworks are introducing going to be so high to make them vacuous? 1/n
Three formal arguments for why there cannot be a finite set of cognitive biases.

The lack of a finite set of biases is one reason I believe Heuristics and Biases cannot survive long term as a prescriptive paradigm. A paradigm of deviations must eventually collapse under its own weight.
