People follow random and social recommendations similarly. Three experiments reveal why. Collaboration with @Rebecca_LM and @DanaeArroyos @econ_ub.

Thanks @eugen_dimant and other SI Editors!

New working paper at SSRN: https://t.co/xJwqU1jutE

Do recommendations need to be social to work? Our two experiments suggest that social recommendations do not work better than random recommendations in the domains of risk and altruism.

Another great experience working with @DanaeArroyos and Judith Covey!

[Dr Danae Arroyos-Calvera @DanaeArroyos]

Judith Covey, @Rebecca_LM and I recently got a paper published! We looked at whether the concern for efficiency, equity, self-interest and helping those most at risk changed after the outbreak of the pandemic. What do you think?

[Dr Danae Arroyos-Calvera @DanaeArroyos]

SO HAPPY to have gathered this spectacular group of researchers from our #StrategicInformationNetwork F2F for the first time post-pandemic! Kudos to fellow co-organisers Depi, @Rebecca_LM & @danielmabuse & thanks to @GRPWarwickBBS for funding the meeting.
