The cool thing about the history of macro as told by macroeconomists is that, no matter what point in history you start from, after 40 years, scientific convergence is achieved

💡 Open science: A team of researchers at Shandong University has attempted to replicate Oprea (2024 AER). The results do not replicate.

Oprea 2024 reported an online lab experiment, and found that prospect theory anomalies occur not only for lotteries, but also for deterministic 'mirrors'.

Magisterial.

A new working paper with Daniel Banki, @urisohn.bsky.social and Robert Walatka, just submitted to SSRN.

The paper is comment on Ryan Oprea's recent AER paper.

The paper is processing, but you, my friends, get early entry.

Some Practical Guidance for the Implementation of Propensity Score Matching
by Caliendo, Marco & Kopeinig, Sabine (2005)

This pretty #econsky paper proves (among other things) NE existence in finite games directly using Brouwer (not Kakutani). Letting X_i be the set of mixed strategies for player i, define f from X to X via f_i(x):=argmax_{y_i in X_i} [u_i(y_i, x_{-i}) - ||x_i - y_i||^2].

I am thinking of making my DiD materials that I used for teaching in the last 5 years available.

I am hoping these would find begineers in need of a step-by-step opinionated walkthrough of several developments

Let’s see if I find the energy to do this!

#EconSky I want to share a presentation trick that’s worked wonders for me recently. (1/3)

Hi #EconSky! I'm Sungmin Park, a micro theory #EconJMC from The Ohio State University.

My #EconJMP develops a unifying framework to study causality and causal misperception in dynamic games.
