Paper by our fellows Lima De Miranda & @DJSnower published in @PNASNews: "The societal responses to COVID-19: Evidence from G7 countries". Countries reacted similarly on GDP & emissions, but tribalism increased overall. 1/ https://t.co/7mDVP03ULq

[Steve Stewart-Williams @SteveStuWill]

Six fundamental beliefs that bias our view of the world:

1. My experience is a reasonable reference.
2. I make correct assessments of the world.
3. I am good.
4. My group is a reasonable reference.
5. My group is good.
6. People's attributes (not context) shape outcomes.

Very pleased with the publication of the article "The policiticized pandemic", in which we tried to disentangle the relationship btw political orientation & altruism wrt health-protective behavior during COVID-19 in the US. Embargo-free read👉https://t.co/VdXNQ6k4Sa

[John A. List @Econ_4_Everyone]

Fascinating figure on readability from Plavén-Sigray et al. (2017), who analyzed 700k+ abstracts published between 1881-2015 from 123 scientific journals.

I am unsure how economics fares today, but given our potential impact we should always combat this trend. #Econ4everyone!

This data was collected in collaboration with other early carrier scientists from @leuphana University, Senckenberg Institute @geobiodiversity & @uni_kassel and provides input for at least 9 PhD thesis’s and hopefully many more papers.(2/2)”

Our research fellows Susann Adloff & Aloyce Patrick successfully completed 700+ interviews from people who work, live and travel at mount Kilimanjaro for the interdisciplinary project Kili SES👉🏽https://t.co/MZurx5uE44 exploring the relationship between people and nature. (1/2)”

Considering bpth solidarity and agency (confidence in empowering institutions, freedom of life choice, vulnerable employment, life expectancy), G7 countries have considerably different patterns of fragmentation/cohesiveness and empowering/disempowering impacts. 3/

Tribalism is defined as the difference between ingroup solidarity (i.e. social support received by friends and family) and outgroup solidarity (giving behavior, satisfaction with efforts to deal with the poor, and minority rights). 2/

Fascinating keynote by Gabriele Camera (@ChapmanU) in last keynote of @EcScienceAssoc conference: Money (=symbolic object with no instrinsic value)⬆️ cooperation even when reciprocity is impossible, through transmitting information on past cooperative behavior. #esabologna

Doing a meta-analysis but need a little help? We've shared 9 templates for you to use, from prereg to code to data. Hopefully this can give you a head start and make sharing easier when you submit! Paper just published: https://t.co/uf2XmMR1RY #MetaAnalysis #SystRev #OpenScience

Considerable misalignment exists between investment in "attack" & "defense" in international experimental simulations of war:@a_romano90
@ICSD_Conference #ICDCPH.This & amount invested in attack/defense is explained by macro-factors such as instuttional quality & reputation.

Conclusions👇. Different social norms depending on structure of the game (coordination Vs. cooperation or both). Excessive focus on linear public goods game. Many times the interaction is one of coordination (ex. switching to efficient technologies to avoid climate change).👏12/

Keynote talk by Andreas Diekmann (@UniLeipzig) @ICSD_Conference #ICDCPH on how social norms sustain both coordination and cooperation. 1/

Some stickiness is also found in lab experiments, but it doesn't last too long. After an environment switch, players adapt to the new situation relatively quickly, even in the presence of asymmetry. 11/
