@Hanken_fi Thank you for this opportunity @MiettinenTopi

[Vojtěch Kotrba @KotrbaVojtech]

On my way to Helsinki ✈️ Excited to teach Behavioral Economics at @Hanken_fi for the next 3 weeks. We’ll cover heuristics, cognitive biases, prospect theory, and pro-social behavior through interactive games and experiments. Plus, some thoughts on integrity in behavioral science.

Happy to see Daron Acemoglu (with S.Johnson and J.A.Robinson) win the Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences! Had the chance to meet him at a seminar during my visit to @UofGlasgow. He was open, approachable, and genuinely nice. Huge thanks to @UofGAsbs for the opportunity!

3/3 It seems that being less likeable can actually be an advantage in certain environments. One interpretation? Ice hockey players need to be tough and put up a strong fight to win people over. 👊🏒🤕

1/3 Amazing news! My co-authors and I published what I think is my best paper yet, and it’s in the prestigious JEI (Q1)! 😊
Thanks to my wonderful co-authors Mirka, Luis, and Pedro, and to Springer Nature for making it available for free: https://t.co/DE9PoZmA62

2/3 We found that while more likeable soccer players are favored in fantasy sports, less likeable ice hockey players are more in demand! 🤯

BREAKING!

@FrancescaGino's ridiculous defamation lawsuit against @DataColada from last year has been dismissed by the court!

This is an important victory.. if this had been allowed to move forward it would have had a chilling effect on whistleblowers!

@JakubZofcak @KureckaOndrej 4/ ohledu na olympiádu (typicky US soutěže). Tam se rozhodně bavíme o nedokonale konkurenčním uspořádání se specifickými důsledky.

@JakubZofcak @KureckaOndrej 3/ 3) Přiznám se, že teď o paperu na porovnání olympijských a neolympijských sportů nevím. Bude to dost komplexní problém s možným nedostatkem dat, ale myšlenka zajímavá. 4) A samozřejmě existují soutěže, které mají příjmy de facto garantované domácím (nebo i světovým) trhem bez

My latest research on MMA is out! 😊 Analyzed UFC data from 2019 (with audiences) and 2020 (without). Results: Audiences decrease early finishes, less so for female fighters. #Research #UFC #SportsScience #MMA #COVID19
