🚨 UPDATED PAPER 🚨 We incorporate a decision-theoretic measurement method for loss aversion in the risk profiling application of financial institutions in Belgium and Ireland! Paper: dennievandolder.com/files/Papers/2… More details in the thread below 👇

Important update at MDPI: the Special Issues now explicitly state in their title what results you must find to publish there. Publication bias turned into a business. #mdpi #predatoryjournals

10 days to the start of #esa2024helsinki ! esa2024helsinki.fi We kick off with a policy workshop & welcome reception at the Helsinki City Hall on Thu Sep 5th, and end with 1st lectures of an international PhD course on Mon Sep 9th.
