LeBron James has surpassed Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (38,387) to become the NBA’s all-time leading scorer.

ESPN Sources: The Lakers are finalizing deal to land Minnesota’s D’Angelo Russell, Malik Beasley and Jarred Vanderbilt in trade including Mike Conley and picks to Timberwolves and Russell Westbrook and a lightly protected 2027 LA first-round pick to Jazz.

Daniel Woods and Stanton Hudja study the exploitation and exploration trade-off in an exponential bandit problem lab experiment. Interestingly, they find players under-respond to priors and safe action and explore less than predicted! tinyurl.com/yj8vhpxc @WileyEconomics

📢  I'm happy to share my job market paper in behavioral economics. Choices often involve information samples, e.g. Amazon reviews. How do people choose when options come with different information samples? Short 🧵. 🔗 enhua-hu.com/static/files/C… #EconTwitter #EconJobMarket #JMP

Melbourne, Australia- a building was outfitted with antisemitic caricatures of Jewish men, complete with a long noses. The street is filled with Kosher restaurants and the like. This is abhorrent Anthony Albanese

In 2016, En Hua Hu published in Noēsis, the University of Toronto’s Undergraduate Journal of Philosophy. Today, his #JobMarketPaper outlines his experiments in how decision makers use information, or ignore it. Read about his academic journey. #EconTwitter newsletter.economics.utoronto.ca/learning-acade…

I am horrified by the violent anti-Semitic attack on Jewish children in Boulder. They were marching with their parents in peace, calling for hostages to be released, and had fire bombs thrown at them. We cannot be a country where Jewish people cannot safely be in public.

40 million people without a country this is the incredible story of the Kurds. That’s 1 minute, see you tomorrow for Day 53!

Some of the Purdue Experimental Economics crew (past and present) at the ESAs last weekend.

Just days ago, Barstool’s Dave Portnoy (Dave Portnoy) was recording a pizza review in Mississippi, when a passerby shouted an antisemitic comment and the interaction was caught on camera. In an interview with CBS Sunday Morning 🌞 airing next weekend, Portnoy tells Tony Dokoupil that

A dark day for the Jewish people and the world. We must defend ourselves and above all, spread light. Don’t cower. Spread light, instead. Start tonight by lighting physical candles for the holiday. But then seek truth, speak truth, and make the world better. That’s our job.
