Here too for the X-boycotters: 1st 1st author manuscript, elated, etc. etc., let’s get to it: We need more high-quality norms in psychology and traditional sampling and norming techniques won’t get us there. MRP can help, though!

Sehr empfehlenswertes Buch, das einen interessierten und empathischen Blick in den „Minus-Bereich“ unterm Potsdamer Platz liefert.
Costas Studie der Reinigungsarbeit ist Ethnografie im besten Sinne. Mit großer Empathie und scharfem Blick für die kleinen Gesten beobachtet sie, wie die Reinigungsräfte um Würde kämpfen - leider vor allem gegeneinander.

Looking for a new book? I just finished Benjamin Labatut‘s „Maniac“ about John von Neumann, AI, Infinity, the borderland of reason, rationality, absurdity and madness. Highly recommended

Very interesting read about the Gino-Ariely case by Gideon Lewis-Kraus. Really worth your time.
They Studied Dishonesty. Was Their Work a Lie?
Dan Ariely and Francesca Gino became famous for their research into why we bend the truth. Now they’ve both been accused of fabricating data.

Does anyone have a reference on how to build in quantity discounts into Discrete Choice Experiments? The idea is that prices react dynamically to the quantity bought (first product 2,50, every other 2 for example).

Piggybacking on that (great) resource: From your experience, what is the best resource for someone to go from using Tidyverse/dplyr to more data.table-based approaches?
PSA: stata2r.github.io is a *fantastic* website for getting going in R (w data.table & fixest) if coming from Stata. Recently had to do large project fully in R, used data.table because of this website, loved it. Thanks @kylefbutts.bsky.social @gmcd.bsky.social @nickchk.bsky.social!
