When your life partner is also your biggest fan (and critic when necessary) life is good.

I am handling a paper for a journal that I am editing and I noticed that large parts of it were clearly by AI. I emailed the author and they admitted it was Claude. I then said perhaps they should consider including Claude as a coauthor (or at least thanked profusely in the

I just finished a lecture on the "hidden side of incentives." Sometimes they are hidden in plain sight and we don't even realize them. Years ago in a field experiment with Chief Executive Officers (CEOs), we found that trustworthiness is highest if the threat to punish is

All of the anti-trust discussion on apps and platforms around the world has me thinking about work in this area. One thing that stands out is how fragile collusive arrangements can be in markets. I did some natural field experiments years ago and found that many of Stigler's

An interviewer just asked me what skills AI will make more important. My response? Critical thinking skills. This is because in the past there was value in creating large quantities of information. That is now costless. The new currency is how to generate, assimilate,

Wonderful choice Royal Economic Society!

Thanks so much for the call out tylercowen and Marginal Revolution. I hope that my new book can live up to your praise and help raise our field to new scientific levels.

I just received another within-subject experimental design to handle at the JPE. Be sure to discuss why you are properly identified and present the full distribution of outcomes! ideas.repec.org/p/feb/natura/0…

I just finished a lecture on the excellence gap. Small departures in the deep right tail of the excellence distribution provide real economic gains. This fact suggests to me that we need more work in this area! In a recent nature study we show that excellence gaps in math and
