🎉Hot off the press! In our new paper with @ploteo we take an experimental approach to assess the effectiveness of boosts and nudges for optimising residential energy consumption - both can be effective but we need to consider cognitive aspects! sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

For his #PhD in #economics, @NicoBehavioural seeks to align the consequences of #energy #poverty and the shift to greener energy systems. He works at our @EURACrenewables institute. 30 of our #scientists share their plans for the next 30 years with you. #303030 #EuracResearch30

Have been meaning to read this for a while...what a great article on the contributions that behavioural insights can have to optimise energy use in households! (...spoiler: it's not *just* nudging..) iea.org/articles/the-p…

What a wonderful presentation this morning from Douglas Bernheim on the Challenges of Behavioral Welfare Economics! Learned a lot on how BE can change the way we think of economic welfare analysis #LSE_IBPPConf2022

Inspiring keynote from @Econ_4_Everyone on the science of scaling, stressing the need for “honest translators” in public policy to get evidence from journals into the policy process #LSE_IBPPConf2022 #BehaviouralScience @BPPconference #TheVoltageEffect

Starting off! Looking forward to a great set of presentations on Behavioural public policy #LSE_IBPPConf2022

What's definitely true is that we don't understand the heterogeneity of effects very well - the drivers of why certain things work in certain places. That's where we should be looking, not a binary work/doesn't work debate. nature.com/articles/s4156…

A new podcast that was recommended to me by my housemate @NicoBehavioural 🎙️✨ If you're interested in understanding why we humans do what we do, this is for you! open.spotify.com/episode/5qNJdT…

A full classroom today as the @SmartBEEjS project ESRs wrap up presentations on the status of their theses! Very interesting discussions throughout the day #PositiveEnergyDistricts #EnergyTransition

Me, and my recent data analysis @openacademics #academictwitter #sciencetwitter

How can we tell whether a nudge, or some other behaviorally informed intervention, has worked? papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cf…

Hitting 1⃣0⃣0⃣! 👏 @OPSIgov marks milestone on collecting #BehaviouralScience projects from all around the globe! 🌍Bringing you: 🏁100+ projects from ⛳️41 countries in 🥅36 policy areas ... and counting! Add your team or project! ✍️oe.cd/behav-science-…

@kamilenta @PhDVoice I like this, somehow I always found matrices a bit restrictive because I may want different things from different papers. Filtering by topic seems like a way I could get around this.

Here's a question for PhDs, and maybe more senior researchers as well: how do you go about structuring a review of the literature once you've read a few papers? (ie: matrices, word docs) I can't seem to land on one approach that is most effective for me 🧐 #phdchat #EconTwitter

@otherlibertynb @PhDVoice I really like this idea! Goes straight to the point of the information I'm trying to retain 😎

@NicoBehavioural @PhDVoice Numbers correspond to excel columns: 1 - Reference (ex. Eckert 2012) 2 - Questions i want answered by the article 3 - my general commentary 4 - interesting quotes w/ page number 5 - further reading you find interesting from the article biblio list is organized per topic

Our paper "Exploring modes of sustainable value co-creation in renewable energy communities" with @IljanaSchubert, @Morgane_Fritz, and Paul Burger is out! In it, we argue for a stakeholder approach to mapping value co-creation with citizens in RECs 1/2 sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

This week our @SmartBEEjS researchers are attending a Writing Retreat in Nice. They have been working on structuring their ideas into academic papers and receiving lots of feedback from the supervisory team 📝💻

I like this article about nudging and boosting because it is constructive and empirical (rather than just loudly insulting those who nudge.) Should we nudge or boost? Both please! Often a combination will be best. behavioralscientist.org/building-the-b…

That’s a wrap! I presented a paper-in-progress in collaboration with @ploteo on Wednesday at the #ICEP2021 conference. Was great to hear other researchers working on similar topics with different approaches, as well as catching up with project colleagues in the sunny Siracusa 🌞
