Where do social preference games generalize? Our new paper (with @gersiopirla) provides a ranking of field environments based on expert perceptions.

Handy if you want to motivate your social preference research or explore external validity!

Many thanks & congratulations to @DaniNavarroM for organising another @bse_barcelona workshop on reproducibility, generalisability & external validity of economic experiments with Alec Brandon @flxhlzmstr Aurelien Baillon @MDrouvelis @FilippinAntonio & other brilliant speakers!

And they end with a quote by Max Planck: "A new scientific truth does not triumph by convincing its opponents and making them see the light, but rather because its opponents eventually die, and a new generation grows up that is familiar with it."

1/4 This important thread reminded me of one of the sections in the classic status quo bias paper by Samuelson and Zeckhauser (1988). In Section 4.7, they say:

[Daniel Navarro-Martinez @DaniNavarroM]

Then, further down, Samuelson & Zeckhauser (1988) continue to say: "In this view, scientific scholars are subject to status quo persistence. Far from being objective decoders of the empirical evidence, scientists have decided preferences about the scientific believes they hold."

Interesting experiment and results! And love it when the behavioral economists win...

[Paolo Crosetto @PaoloCrosetto]

What works best to change diets: nutritional labels or price policies?

It's a part of the titanic battle pitching behavioral vs traditional economists: cues or incentives?

In our lab setting, labels win.

This is literally the craziest thing I’ve read in my whole life and it’s not even close https://t.co/pH3hAs09ti

[Daniel Navarro-Martinez @DaniNavarroM]

Very important issue.

Experimental researchers are starting to take replicability problems seriously and doing something about them. Non-experimental empirical research seems to be in desperate need for a similar movement.

[Philipp Heimberger @heimbergecon]

"56% of statistically significant results [in leading economics journals" were selected to be statistically significant. Selection bias is greater at the top five journals, where 66% of statistically significant results were selected to be statistically significant"

[Daniel Navarro-Martinez @DaniNavarroM]

Great conversations indeed. And great project!

[Eugen Dimant @eugen_dimant]

WTF! Lost all respect for @ArmchairExpPod

To give Ariely a platform & glorify him for 2h is one (bad) thing.

But to briefly bring up his controversies, allow him to play the victim & claim that signing at top-vs-bottom is actually a real, well-replicated result is ridiculous.

[Lionel Page @page_eco]

The magnitude of the replication crisis in marketing journals should be more widely known.

[Zoé Ziani, Ph.D. @ZoeZiani]

I wrote a post-mortem on the Gino-Ariely scandal: How I came to suspect Gino’s work, the resistance I met during my Ph.D., my experience working with Data Colada, and the lessons I hope business academia will learn from it.

A kick in the guts.
