Pay employees to quit? Berger, Guo, Matthews & Ruffle find pay-to-quit incentives help sort out employees with lower organizational identification, while those who stay may work harder after declining the offer.

New in JMAR: Saskia Opitz uses field experiments with 176 job ads to show that highlighting flexible work options boosts applications. Flexible hours also increase the share of female applicants, with no evidence of lower applicant quality.

New in JMAR: Zhiping Mao examines employee reactions when firms selectively disclose CSR information opportunistically. Such disclosures can backfire internally, increasing misreporting and shirking by making an opportunism norm salient.

With student A.I. use/abuse now ubiquitous, professors and teachers are killing off take-home essays and papers. Students are writing inside the classroom, often by hand.

It's part of the big rethink happening on tech and learning. My new report here:

Want to start using Claude Code for academic research?

Or see incredible things other researchers are doing with Claude Code?

Here's a thread of 5 great tutorials, skill and projects you can start using right now.

I'm also keen to do an online "reading group" to work through these and others every week. Beginners welcome. Let me know below if you're interested.

1/ Chris Blattman shares an entire suite of tools he build in the last 4 weeks:

[John A. List @Econ_4_Everyone]

When AI first arrived on the scene, I worried it would make economists, or even critical thinkers more broadly, less valuable. In my travels in the past 6 months to work with non-profits, for profits, and government agencies, I have observed how people are actually using AI. I have watched them fumble around with insights they clearly did not create themselves.

My fears are now assuaged. One observation is that AI can produce something that in some cases is very wrong and in others looks nearly right, but is not quite there. Even if in time AI improves to "nearly right" or "exactly right" every time, a second issue still arises: explaining the materials.

Explaining why an answer is almost correct but subtly off requires exactly the critical thinking skills that created the knowledge in the first place. Even explaining "exactly right" material takes critical thinking. I've watched smart people confidently present AI-generated material they clearly don't fully understand. The words sound right. But when someone pushes back just a little bit, the sand castle crumbles.

It is quite difficult to defend what you didn't build. This leads me to now make the optimistic case for human expertise. The value of deeply understanding something — of having built the knowledge yourself — hasn't diminished with AI. If anything, it's increased. The people who can tell the difference between "nearly right" and "right" are more valuable than ever. The people who can explain the subtle details about something that is exactly right are invaluable.

Creating knowledge still matters. Maybe now more than ever.
