UCLA Anderson Review

Lots of career advice going around for young academics. Here is mine: kindness should not be conditional, just be nice to everyone since science and life are team games. And, once you “make it” never forget that status confers the privilege, and duty, to help others.

Le Monde on our research with @RWacziarg and Ignacio Ortuño that shows how underlying social polarization in the U.S. has been large and constant for at least four decades. @smuresearch @AndersonReview @EconomicsUc3m lemonde.fr/en/opinion/art… via @LeMonde_EN

We did a fun little field experiment on the streets of #Bogotá around the #CopaAmericana final, #Colombia 🇨🇴 vs #Argentina 🇦🇷. This was the fastest turnaround field experiment I have ever worked on, joint with the amazing @JuliaSeither and several students from @URosario

What’s the value of national identity? Does it foster cooperation? I’m a big believer in events that foster positive emotional contagion. And I love experiencing sports events, especially soccer ⚽️ – where I understand the rules and am reminded of my childhood.

.@uclaanderson's Sayantani and Jerry Nickelsburg provide an analysis of how wealthy Californians can and, to some extent, are doing this and suggest a special tax on their “second” homes would bring more equity to California’s overall tax scheme. anderson-review.ucla.edu/should-part-ti…

So, what *is* an incentive? One super smart economist & behavioral scientist told me “incentive” is the worst term since it’s so poorly defined. We asked attendees at the 1st Incentive Design Conference to define the word based on their areas of expertise. 👇for a little video

What is The Fed going to do about inflation?

Thoroughly enjoyed being part of this group that the wonderful @janagallus assembled. If you do not know Jana's work, I urge you to take a look. She is changing the world.

We gathered a dream team to discuss what we need from research on incentives & what kinds of big-swing moves can (or can not) bring about positive social change. These efforts laid the foundation for our new initiative, the Center for Incentive Design. More to come!
