If you raw dogged a math degree pre-LLM you can never be a true vibe prover. You’ve seen too much.

1. Quirks in market incentives can lead to an undersupply of preventive drugs, relative to cures

An elegant case for why pharmaceutical companies might underinvest in some vaccines

🚨 It's finally out! 🚨 This is the big one. 100 cultures, 12,000 people, 108 researchers. Why people (and our most-used surveys) get collectivism wrong and how to fix it. Join me for a fun thread! 🧵 @NatureHumBehav https://t.co/4JZhjbuwcV

🧵New on @dataforin: we use data to derive insights about India, but we're also big on researching and writing about these datasets for the benefit of other researchers who may want to use them. The latest in this series is our research on e-courts data https://t.co/gBdA2GjtJ9

people sure do have a lot of baggage about math

[Andrei Munteanu @andrei_mntn]

@cremieuxrecueil My coauthors find something very different in their paper (published in the AER). This result has been replicated many times. This possibly has something to do with the gap in the quality of the school vs the fallback (among other things); it might be relatively small in Bos/NY.

In June 2022, the Dobbs v. Jackson Supreme Court decision overturned Roe v. Wade, sending abortion regulation back to states. Within months, bans were enforced in some states while others expanded protections. I study how these bans affected the practice locations of OBGYNs. 🧵

I learnt so much at the Pendency Lab Research Symposium today, organised by @CSEP_Org and @TrustBridgeRule. Such enlightening discussions! Thank you for organizing this.

[The Economist @TheEconomist]

This week we published an article critically assessing the work of @DAcemogluMIT. In response, the Nobel prize-winning economist has robustly defended his research and core ideas. Read his letter in full: https://t.co/9LXCR6T1L3
