They misheard you. They thought you said “beer effects”.
I asked my students what topic in our economics of education class was most important for education policy.

Nearly all of them chose "peer effects".

(Perhaps reflecting my own evolution from ignoring peer effects to thinking they explain a huge fraction of education phenomena.)

Some of the most important lottery anomalies from the behavioral risk literature (e.g., probability weighting and loss aversion) actually have nothing to do with risk.

They also arise in perfectly deterministic settings.

Health economists might be interested in this health services/policy position here at U at Buffalo, which isn’t posted on JOE but is open to economists. It’s hard money and TT.
