It's impossible to imagine what the Behavioral Decision Making field (and my life) would be like without Danny Kahneman. Danny, of course, was a legend, whose work and spirit inspired almost all of my research. RIP Daniel Kahneman.

📣Now hiring! I'm looking to recruit a full-time Postdoctoral Associate to join the Mind & Culture Lab at Duke University. The ideal candidate has a PhD in Psychology or Anthropology & is interested in cross-cultural work. Apply here! academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/27429

In light of Daniel Kahneman's passing last week, I decided to release a special bonus episode of Opinion Science (a podcast) featuring our (as-yet unreleased) full conversation with him. He talks about the early days of his work on heuristics & prospect theory

🚨 New preprint!

Happy to share our new preprint with Niklas Buergi Gökhan Aydogan Christian Ruff on adaptive mentalization in the human brain. See the thread for details! Link to the paper: osf.io/preprints/psya…

😀 Excited to share that our paper 'Social Preferences and Redistributive Politics' was just accepted for publication at the Review of Economics and Statistics.

(Hopefully no April's fool 🙊😅)

Great paper from Zoe Hitzig.

Mechanisms like the second-price auction are not maximally private because everyone’s WTP is disclosed. English auction is better but not as good as it could be. Proposes a new auction-based on pair orders that is best.

Today we’ve lost a giant and a visionary: Prof. Daniel Kahneman has passed at the age of 90. The Princeton SPIA community shares our condolences with his family and all who knew him, learned from him, and loved him. bit.ly/4cy0arM

Hard to find words for the loss of Danny Kahneman. He had the most original mind I have ever known, & also the deepest. He could connect with others - truly, madly, deeply. Knowing him was a privilege and a joy, & the best imaginable roller coaster ride.

I was so lucky to be able to have Danny Kahneman as a best friend and collaborator for decades. He usually ended our conversations with 'to be continued...' but I now have to simulate his part which is impossible. My favorite image of us 'working'.

A re-analysis of Ciacci (2024) shows that the paper's headline result comes from an erroneous use of Stata's regression command.
