We find:
1) Most people report truthfully even when they could lie freely, although reporting was common among low performers.
2) Self-reporting boosts productivity, especially when groups are fully honest, but reduces effort under team pay, especially when peer reporting is percived as dishonest.

We've all seen it on #econtwitter: "Thrilled to share my paper was accepted at [journal]!" or "Humbled to receive [grant] among thousands of applicants..."
Does all this (humble)bragging actually affect productivity? @cubel.bsky.social, Ann-Kathrin Koessler and I ran an experiment to find out 🧵

Analizamos +4.000 críticas en @fotogramasrevista.bsky.social, Cinemania, @eamcinema.com y @larazonlr.bsky.social. Encontramos que con estrellas enteras los críticos penalizan las peliculas de directoras mientras que con medias la penalización desaparece. La arquitectura de evaluación NO es neutral.

¿Dependen los sesgos de evaluación de cómo diseñamos las escalas de puntuación? En un reciente trabajo con @cubel.bsky.social investigamos esto en el contexto de la crítica cinematográfica española, comparando reseñas que utilizan estrellas enteras vs. medias estrellas. 🎬⭐️

I must admit I enjoy pitting Claude against ChatGPT. I ask them to write responses and counterarguments to each other’s points in search of a correct answer. Sometimes it works, but most of the time, they’re as sychophantic with each other as they are with me. It’s like watching two Furbys converse.

For students: When your profs give you positive signals, don't discount them! They're meaningful indicators of your ability. (4/4)

Most striking: 84% of women who had ALREADY demonstrated excellence still chose safe payment when experts set the standard. Women seem to discount positive expert signals, possibly attributing success to luck rather than ability. (3/4)

Using a lab experiment, we find that feedback dramatically increases willingness to compete against standards. But the SOURCE of the standard matters a lot: peer-based standards encourages it, while expert-set standards can actually discourage it, especially for women. (2/4)
