Ironic that we got free AI from a hedge fund and $200/month AI from a nonprofit.

Thrilled to announce “From Click to Boom: The Political Economy of E-Commerce in China” is released! (amazon: https://t.co/B6QKFNE2yM or 30%off with code P327 at https://t.co/IpLcGkpob8 via @PrincetonUPress)

A decade in the making, my book presents how the world’s largest e-commerce market unveils a digital path to development—and what it means for China’s growth trajectory and institutional evolution worldwide.

Research built on extensive fieldwork across 6 provinces, hundreds of interviews, two original surveys, 27 million data of proprietary transactions, and a rare, large-scale field experiment spanning 3 Chinese provinces…

Thrilled to see my paper with @patrickpliu in the APSR!

We address a crucial question in political psychology — whether persuasive attempts targeting deeply held issues cause attitudes to grow more extreme or encourage moderation — using tailored AI-powered surveys.

Stoked to see our new paper in APSR! 🎉 We investigate a popular hypothesis: did The Apprentice give Trump a winning edge in the 2016 GOP primary? This custom-made cartoon sums up our findings.

I am so thrilled to share that Wuhan: How the COVID-19 Outbreak in China Spiraled Out of Control is reviewed as one of "20 non-fiction and popular science books to look forward to in 2024" by The New Scientist . https://t.co/66hYT9JPYo

Data to counter revisionism on January 6th. Respondents interviewed hours after the insurrection were 10% less likely to identify as Republicans and also expressed less support for Trump. Even larger drops among Trump voters. https://t.co/NcscocLBAc

interesting — this graphic shows how people learn their journal submission has been desk rejected

Does contemporary #democracy fuel anti-intellectualism and skepticism of science? Authors @JunyanJiang and @kmwan1209 address this question in their @World_Pol October issue article. https://t.co/Ic5keEc5Yo #worldpolitics

[Yamil Ricardo Velez @YamilRVelez]

It's that time of the year.

We're just about done collecting data on 2,000+ participants for my Experimental Research class. This semester, we settled on AI image/video discernment as our key outcome, and 11 students submitted their own interventions.

[Iza Ding @izading]

What do I mean by “authoritarian teleology”? (Thank you @kaiserkuo for the plug!) Broadly speaking, it’s a style of thinking that interprets whatever an authoritarian govt does as a “strategy” to “stay/remain/survive in power.” 1/n

[Dr Alina Utrata @AlinaUtrata]

Very, very excited (but still slightly stunned) to say that my article about Silicon Valley and outer space colonization is now online at @apsrjournal. More—and many more thank yous!—to come, but for now the open access link is here.

If you are teaching this fall and worried students may be led astray by a hallucinating bot, I’ve created a simple chat app that allows them to interact with course materials. Students can pose questions and receive answers, accompanied by a list of course-specific sources.

Congratulations!!!

[Shengqiao Lin | 林声巧 @linshengqiao]
