In new research out in @JPART1991, @_Oliver_James_ and I study whether public service users' responses to performance information reflect (directionally) motivated reasoning or if responses can be explained by Bayesian updating (from potentially incorrect prior beliefs).

[Tadeg Quillien @TadegQuillien]

Our paper on the logic of guesses is now out (w/ @NeilBramley and Chris Lucas).

We provide a new information-theoretic perspective on many phenomena (old and new) in judgment under uncertainty.

Now in @apsrjournal: What do politicians think about their voters? Fielding face-to-face surveys to 982 sitting politicians in 11 countries, and surveys of 12,000 citizens, we find they have remarkably consistent - and cynical - theories of voters: /1

Experimental evidence from Los Angeles shows parents value school effectiveness even conditional on peer quality, and that social interactions strongly influence school choice, from @cqcampos https://t.co/1PeVaHgIuE

[Lionel Page @page_eco]

The notion of “probability” is both familiar (we use it), and mysterious (we would typically struggle to define it).

Here is a 🧵 to remove the mystery and make the meaning of “probability” more intuitive.

🤷Should you include a “don't know” (DK) option in a survey question?

➡️@madselk & @CBWlezien show the exclusion of a DK option can matter, mostly for low-information respondents and on low-salience issues https://t.co/dl5XBzv28c #FirstView #OpenAccess

My latest is now up @The_JOP!

Using data from @LASchools, I show how electoral incentives can lead to inequalities in school funding.

Thx to all who supported this project and provided feedback, especially @vkoganpolisci @payson_julia @LeslieKFinger!

NEW PAPER w/ @eriksantoro @j_kalla @ronchuli

There's a widespread idea that we will persuade other people more effectively if we listen to them first

The NYT has said it, social psych says it, & my previous research has assumed it

In a new study, we find it's likely wrong 🧵..

@saarbarkat @ACavari Very interesting work and great presentation!

[Peter Rasmussen Damgaard @PeterRDamgaard]

@mat_doering @PA_SDU Thanks a lot. I also look forward to continuing our work!

[Peter Rasmussen Damgaard @PeterRDamgaard]

I am very happy to share that I have been promoted to tenure track assistant professor @PA_SDU

[Public Adm. SDU @PA_SDU]

We are happy to announce that we have hired *three* tenure-track assistant professors who will join us in the Public Administration Research Group (@PA_SDU). All three will be introduced here briefly:

Saying an effect size is "small" or "medium" is meaningless. But we didn't have a set of guidelines for saying it better. Now we do, thanks to this awesome piece by @DavidFunder and Dan Ozer--I think everyone doing behav science research should read this. https://t.co/IdGkJfHVUD

[Peter Rasmussen Damgaard @PeterRDamgaard]

Very interesting study with implications for marketization and choice in health care services (GPs)

[Stefan Schubert @StefanFSchubert]

Doctor quality matters a lot.

Norwegian study finds that replacing one of the 5% worst general practitioners with one of average quality generates a social benefit of $9.05 million.

Great thread on how shocks to natural geography causes prosperity. @ChristianVedel uses two really fascinating historical shocks to Danish waterways that I also recently learned about myself. Very cool stuff!

[Public Adm. SDU @PA_SDU]

In addition to the general call above (across disciplines), we also have a PA specific PhD call open. The deadline is also October 15th for this call: https://t.co/zmZQX81ZRZ
