I'm very happy that Pedram Heydari, @michellemeyer.bsky.social, and I have published our study on the internal inconsistencies in the choices that laypeople and medical clinicians make about rationing scarce treatments (such as ventilators and drugs during the Covid pandemic).
Medical rationing choices of laypeople and clinicians are often illogical and inconsistent with their own stated preferences
The sudden onset, rapid spread, and later surges of the Covid-19 pandemic resulted in shortages of ventilators, pharmaceuticals, and other critical resources, leaving individual clinicians to make rat...

Reviewer 2 used an LLM to generate their review of our manuscript—except for the part where they asked for several irrelevant papers, all mysteriously authored by the same person, to be cited. Thank you, Reviewer 1, whoever you are. Not all heroes wear capes.
![I am unconvinced that the three additional citations, all to [redacted], add to the paper. Although I fully understand the authors’ decision to include them given the other reviewer’s suggestions, I would like to voice my firm support if they prefer not to include them in the final version.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:zz4bvgjttpbdajnq4eysyle6/bafkreif3fbsmjwd74whflw3otwpzuvesbplahwe4a26xjesrvwzdavdbri@jpeg)

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.

Daniel Kahneman, Nobel-winning economist, dies at 90
He found that people rely on shortcuts that often lead them to make wrongheaded decisions that go against their own best interest.
