Public trust in science is more important than ever. But what happens when scientists openly share their political opinions on social media? Our updated paper with Eleonora Alabrese & Francesco Capozza shows how academics’ political expression affects their credibility.

In 2015, Russia dramatically entered the Syrian war, firing missiles from the Caspian Sea and launching airstrikes. The display was meant to herald Moscow's resurgence as a global power capable of projecting force across the globe. After nearly a decade of effort, they lost

For every non-Syrian: I invite you to be emotional and share this moment with us. We need your continued support through this transition. We need a plural democracy for all Syrians. We will never let Iran and Russia rule us again.

The humanities people haven't kept up with the historical development of economics as a field. We got mathematicized in the like early mid 1900's, went super "neoliberal" in the 80's, and more recently figured out we could just take over all of empirical social science

An English prof recently declared that economics was "fake" because economists don't read Marx. Well, that's just silly. But reading Marx is still useful, as a cautionary tale of what can happen when social science gets too arrogant. noahpinion.blog/p/should-econo…

This is what an EU atomic bomb could look like (translation): - Contains no small parts that could be swallowed by children under 3 years old. - The atomic bomb is made entirely from recycled materials. - At the impact site, an automated sign appears, reading: "This crater was

Our paper with Toygar Kerman is now published in Theory and Decision! If you think ignoring connections between phenomena is always a bad thing — think again! Using info design, we show that this can make persuasion harder, and thus help elicit more information from the expert.

Which is more horrifying to you: a) Politicians understand the consequences of price controls, but cynically think people are stupid enough to vote for them anyway b) The politicians are so stupid they don’t understand the consequences

This man is the messiah of mixed strategy. The only senior politician able to tell you in the eyes: "my final decision will be random" and you actually believe him.

Whenever anyone tells you that all “mainstream” economics is unscientific, odds are they’ve got some much more egregiously unscientific substitute they’re hoping to fob off on you.

We’re officially on X. The 414th Separate Unmanned Strike Aviation Systems Brigade – known as "Magyar Birds" – was born from a platoon led by Robert Brovdi, call sign "Magyar". Today, it’s the #1 drone unit in Ukraine’s Defense Forces by verified enemy targets destroyed –

I know I sound like a broken record about supply and demand. But please tell me I don’t sound like Ha-Joon Chang writing the same op-ed for 20 years.

The guy cited here published this a few days ago, but it is exactly the same whining I read in the early 2000s. That's about the same level of progress as his much loved pluralistic alternatives have made since then. O.k., that was unfair. They brought us MMT and degrowth! 🤪
