Bottom line: people behave as if their spouse’s plan is a default option. That’s a new peer-effect story — one that matters because the optimal insurance plan is person-specific. What’s right for your spouse may be wrong for you.

📄 New Working Paper: “Social Defaults and Plan Choice: The Case of Spousal Following” — joint with Tim Layton, Daniel Prinz, and Julia Yates. nber.org/papers/w34137 We’ve been working on this for a very long time, and we’re thrilled to share it. 🧵

I'm teaching two MBA classes this semester: Health Strategy and Managerial Economics. If you are an instructor and my slides might be useful for you, please DM me. I'll send them over.

@Juraqulova @ProfNoto @ASSAMeeting Yes! Please email me and I'll give you notes, slides, and exams!

@ProfNoto @ASSAMeeting @talgross Could I still get some of your teaching notes and resources? I got the book, but I missed the meeting.

If you’re are attending the @ASSAMeeting next month, please come by the University of Chicago Press booth in the exhibit hall on Friday at 2:30pm; @talgross and I will be there to chat about our book and share some of our teaching notes & other resources

If you're in San Antonio tomorrow, 2:30 PM Friday, please join us at @uchicagopress booth #303 at ASSA, for a giveaway of BETTER HEALTH ECONOMICS. We’ll have fifty copies on hand, first come, first serve. There will also be drinks, depending on Texas law and conference rules.

Thank you everyone who pre-ordered Better Health Economics, my new book with @ProfNoto. For everyone else, you can DM / email me for review material, class notes, slides, etc. You can also just request an instructor copy here: press.uchicago.edu/ucp/books/book…

@willmatchamecon It's not perfect.

@talgross Don't know if it is just having a bad day, but this was not the figure I drew on my ipad 😂

If you sketch slides with pencil and paper, ChatGPT can convert them into Beamer.

@atlaz_chugged @abhishekn No plugin, just ChatGPT plus. It now accepts uploaded images as inputs.

@talgross @abhishekn What plugin?

@MalloryAvery16 @essobecker That was my first attempt. Didn't work that great, but it was worth a shot.

@talgross @essobecker … did it work?
