Network dynamics suggest that groups use network revision opportunities to pursue higher payoffs (and, in some cases, they are successful at capitalizing on this increase in potential welfare).
Networks tend to become more connected over time, with many groups quickly forming complete networks (where all possible links are established).
*The frequency of each network type is represented by the marker size; red markers indicate the modal network(s) at each time.
I am on the job market. You can find my JMP here: drive.google.com/file/d/1xmjXES…
🧵In this thread, I describe some of the main theoretical and experimental results.
@HannaGHoover I managed to get to Dallas, but now @AmericanAir keeps delaying my second flight. Seems likely that it will get cancelled, but I guess they’re going to making us stand here for a few hours before they confirm that.
All packed up and ready for my flight to #ESATucson in the morning. This will be my first in-person conference in nearly two years—excited to catch up with some people I haven’t seen in a while and to meet a bunch of new @EcScienceAssoc folks.
@aboutJoy In general, I think I’d agree that I don’t believe it will have much effect. Though, I am curious about the relationship between risk preferences and selection into in-person experiments (i.e., are more risk averse individuals less likely to sign up to participate?)
I'm helping out with a replication project. They asked me if I think the pandemic will affect the probability that various studies will replicate. I think, generally, the pandemic has no effect. Anyone disagree?
@pauljhealy Is the ‘treatment’ in this case passing BOTH in first round? What about looking specifically at the exam that corresponds to the individuals’ research area? Compare individuals that passed 1/2 on first round and see if there’s a difference based on which exam they passed?
What are your criticisms of using 1st round as an instrument for 2nd round?
Or, how would you defend it?
Asking for an experimentalist who's not used to defending these kinds of identifying assumptions...
#EconTwitter, I have some data to suggest qualifier performance doesn't predict placement outcome. Please help me understand strengths & weaknesses of the instrument I use:
We have 2 rounds. I look at job placement of those who passed FIRST round vs those who didn't.
