Great to see this new @vox_dev article by our colleague Marco Alfano and T. Cornelissen (@UoE_Economics). A reminder that the economic costs of conflict spread through supply chains, not just across geography. #econtwitter #somalia #research #foodsecurity

Today we hosted Prof. Paula Onuchic (LSE) on "Separating the Wheat from the Chaff" (w/ Hörner, TSE). How do we tell experts from quacks when both compete for our trust? Theory can have surprising results! #Economics #GameTheory #InformationEconomics

[UoS_Economics @UoS_Economics]

Today we hosted David Gill (@LifeAtPurdue ) for a talk on "Dynamic Investment in Teamwork Skill: Theory and Experimental Evidence", joint with Prowse & Reddinger. Insightful take on how incentives and team design shape #collaboration. #econtwitter #BehavioralEconomics #Teamwork

Should employers ban smartphones at work?
Adrian Chadi’s research (with Mechtel & Mertins) has been featured in the @FinancialTimes , @MSN & @HRReporter . A simple, non‑enforced request to put phones away can boost effort by ~10%—with no loss of trust. #econtwitter Thread 👇
