If you're like me + hopelessly behind on learning about AI. . .here's a quick summary 🧵on the new paper by Chang et al. @Econ_4_Everyone summarizing 12 best practices for leveraging generative AI in experimental research: some ideas to get started!

Aside from @DAcemogluMIT’s amazing record (I once posited to an advisor that he might be a robot), it’s wonderful to see this!

[Matt Lowe @hmmlowe]

If there was a Nobel Prize for advising, Daron Acemoglu would likely win that too. In 2018, @dongheejo68 and I mapped out his past advisees. 117 since 1994, or roughly 5 per year (~1/4 of a typical cohort!) [1/2]

[Rachel Neumann @AnimalSpiritEd]

Congratulations Acemoglu, Johnson, & Robinson! #Nobel #economics

Psychologists have posited hundreds of cognitive biases over the years. A fascinating new paper argues that they all boil down to one of a handful of fundamental beliefs coupled with confirmation bias. https://t.co/uZTVbGnH3d

@MattCowgill I��m at JSA now. Happy to commiserate over virtual coffee? (Brainstorming solutions might be more productive though)

I’ve been off Twitter. Creative destruction rules. And I’m back now. #economicshaikus #x

@cRcKosher is any sweet potato flour acceptable? (Ingredients 100% sweet potato). Thanks!

Fed Govt to boost childcare subsidy for 2nd (or additional) child in care. Cap removed for high income families. Boost roughly $550m pa or 5%. A significant cut to EMTRs for these multiple child families. https://t.co/W6l7DUfids

@gabster0191 Start off cold (windbreaker and thermal top only BUT warm boots/socks) and warm up during the ride. Enjoy!

A student in my R programming class shared this and I can’t stop laughing about it

The best tweet I’ve seen today:

[Robin Hood @robinhood]

Lovely to have all these new followers .. can we just check that you know that you’re following The World Wide Robin Hood Society in Nottingham and not the Robin Hood App .. if so .. a big welcome from Sherwood 🙌

[Mine Çetinkaya-Rundel @minebocek]

Working on a paper and felt like I was repeating certain words too many times. It didn't occur to me until today that there's a quick #rstats way of checking this!

[Elina Halonen @SquarePegMind]

The key idea of behavioural economics and nudging is that our choices are strongly influenced by context - yet there has been little systematic exploration of the broader environment in which decisions are made. Some ideas for how to it in this article 👇

Good science: when the data contradicts your theory, you adjust the theory.

Anti science: when the data contradicts your theory, you criticize the focus on data.

An interesting way to start the year, indeed! #GameStop

There's a gender gap in self-promotion on STEM tasks: women self-promote less than men. On verbal tasks, it disappears but doesn't flip. @JuddKessler & C Exley show this is about more than confidence or incentives. Solution: end self evaluation. Takeaways from @ChangeBcfg seminar

[Johannes Haushofer @jhaushofer]

Here is a first PhD course that's open for student visitors from low- and middle-income countries! Please see below for information on how to apply. It starts THIS TUESDAY so be quick! Big thanks to @raogautam.

[Emily Riederer @EmilyRiederer]

Many organizations are now building internal #rstats packages📦, but optimal design / engineering decisions differ from open source

In this new post based on my #rstudioglobal talk, I explore strategies for API design, docs, testing, and more! (1/3)
