What started as a simple field experiment back in 2019 turned into something bigger (and better) thanks to all the feedback along the way. Now it’s out in @JPubEcon... 🚀 Appreciate everyone who was part of the journey. x.com/JPubEcon/statu…

@goetz_a, Ioana Marinica, @ha_mayr, Luca Mosetti, and Renate Schubert investigate if mobile applications can promote sustainable mobility. They conducted a randomized controlled trial using the Swiss Climate Challenge App to track the mobility behavior of 410 participants over a 5-week period. They find that engaging with the app can reduce emissions, particularly in medium-density areas and among male participants. The app provides personal feedback, moral appeal, and gamification features, suggesting that mobile applications could generate substantial net benefits. Want to learn more? The paper “Do mobile applications foster sustainable mobility? Evidence from a field experiment” is available open access in the SJES: sjes.springeropen.com/articles/10.11… @KaufmannDani @Marius_Brulhart @AlineButikofer @Ste_Buehler #SustainableMobility #MobileApplication #RandomizedControlledTrial

Just published in @JPubEcon: "One thing leads to another: Evidence on the scope and persistence of behavioral spillovers" By @goetz_a, @ha_mayr, and Renate Schubert sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Nice, colored plots make half the battle! Read my new article proposing a «clan detector algorithm» in Social Networks: sciencedirect.com/science/articl… #NetworkAnalysis #HistoricalData

@sgenner Wenn sie gut wären, fein. Seit GTP ist jedoch erkennbar, wie weit die CH-Bots aktuellen Entwicklungen hinterherhinken. Es kann also nur besser werden.

Und wie steht ihr so zur Chat-Bot-isierung des Schweizer Customer Service? 🤪

Looking forward to our session at #EEAESEM22! Will present a field experiment on behavioral spillovers from a hot water intervention, joint work with @goetz_a and Renate Schubert.

@tatjanahaenni Unfassbar!

Erster Tag zurück im Büro.

Ultimately I agree with this (that is, I oppose banning PoW). The government picking and choosing which specific applications are an okay use of electricity or not is a bad idea. Better to just implement carbon pricing, and use some of the revenues to compensate low-income users.

@furkan_s_oguz @overleaf Ob sich die Kollaborateure auch freuen?

#QT We don’t need higher #unemployment to “getting #inflation under control” – Listen to @D_Blanchflower : unemployment hurts 5x 10x more than #inflation

That was a fun start, @chainomics ! Answering the @BIS_org conference's question ("Does safe #DeFi require #CBDC s ?") right at the beginning...

@n_armandola @ESR_news @alex_ehlert Congrats, my friend. Great article!

Delighted to see my first article "Rebel without a Cause" published in @ESR_news. We explore the effects of social origins and disposable income on rule-violating behavior with interesting results (with @alex_ehlert and #H_Rauhut)

@furkan_s_oguz Fühlte mich unwohl früh am Morgen -> Selbsttest: Positiv; 2h später PCR gemacht: Positiv (am nächsten Morgen Bescheid erhalten); als es etwas besser ging (letzte Tage) einige Selbsttests gemacht, wobei am Abend des 9. endlich wieder neg.

@furkan_s_oguz Gute Besserung! (Mich hatte es unerwartet stark umgehauen… und meine Tests blieben 9 Tage positiv )

@KaiGehring1 Heute in der @20min_digital gelesen? Ich fand es auch cool — gibt es dazu bereits ein Journal? 😅

"Militärökonom", cool. Aber recht hat er :)

@acemaxx Sometimes, money isn’t the solution 😥
