Have (or love) an applied Bayesian persuasion paper but hate the full commitment assumption? I’ve got great news for you: you don’t need it —

@ben_golub That thread gets so much better in comments, too

[Masha Titova @mariatitova]

@SonestaHotels what is going on with your customer service? I double booked due to a glitch on your website, called CS within 15 minutes and they cancelled 2nd reservation and said I wouldn't be charged. Got double charged this week and the hotel rep confirms all is correct?

[Masha Titova @mariatitova]

@LucieKalousova Yeah I’m mentally prepared to be double immune to measles!

[Masha Titova @mariatitova]

@andreamoro I’m not sure it will teach me anything but time will tell!

A few weeks ago I decided to rename my theorems as propositions using find all -> replace all. Went through it a few more times, paid for copywriting, too. Today I discovered that the submitted paper refers to Black’s“median voter proposition” 🤦‍♀️

@anthlittle You are the MVP because I ignored 100+ email reminders but this tweet made me actually submit lol

[Masha Titova @mariatitova]

@AArdaGitmez @BilkentEconDept You’re welcome to check out the Political Economy of Elections course I’m teaching here: https://t.co/rjWCV3JVg9 the syllabus should also be somewhere on my website…

@SouthwestAir DMd!

@ZetaOf1 @ben_golub in theory, as it turns out, Ben missed at least two opportunities

[Masha Titova @mariatitova]

@ben_golub IN THEORY

[Masha Titova @mariatitova]

When the time comes to edit the draft I'm currently writing, I will probably need a whole day just to rephrase all the ``as it turns out,'' just to appear slightly less shocked by my own discoveries...

[Masha Titova @mariatitova]

@KimFeCramer @kerrysiani This is a very useful resource and thank you for that! I just wanted to add that adding major edits to your JMP throughout October and even beyond is very doable and very normal!

[Masha Titova @mariatitova]

@ben_golub Okay but how long did it take you to figure out how to put $\mathbb{E}$ in a tweet?

[Masha Titova @mariatitova]

@anthlittle G Fi is good because you get to keep your American number so you’d still be receiving texts and (spam) calls as usual

[Masha Titova @mariatitova]

@anthlittle May be worth upgrading the phone just for this honestly, it’s very convenient! Another option is Google Fi. It’s like $70 a month for unlimited worldwide data so your phone would just work as normal in (almost) any country.

@renee_bowen_lyn Being a theorist doesn’t define me, being 🏳️‍🌈 defines me

[Masha Titova @mariatitova]

@BerkouwerS @MarthaOlney @LGBTQ_Econ Me three!

[Masha Titova @mariatitova]

@florianederer If only NYT knew 😎

[Masha Titova @mariatitova]

Apparently, at my most recent talk, I said something like “the judge considers defendants who stole at least 70 cars guilty, but 69 is not a crime.”
— I wish I could take credit for this joke but all the props go to my subconsciousness
