🔆The science of storytelling: the David Attenborough style of scientific presentation
#Paper

✍🏻William C. Ratcliff

◾️Many scientists approach speaking as they do writing a paper: an opportunity to present their data. But data without proper context is difficult to absorb. In this article, I describe a philosophy and set of heuristics for giving an engaging, narratively driven talk, inspired by the legendary documentaries of Sir David Attenborough.

🔆John Maynard Keynes: A Bloomsbury Member in Search of Lost Reason
#Video

🎙Soroush Marouzi (Research Fellow at the Center for the History of Political Economy at Duke University)

◾️John Maynard Keynes’s philosophical outlook evolved during his illustrious career as an economist-philosopher in the first half of the twentieth century. This evolution was closely intertwined with debates surrounding what constitutes the domain of reason within the Bloomsbury group, a set of intellectuals, artists, and writers that counted Keynes a mong its members. These debates were spurred by the outbreak of the Great War and the presentation of Clive Bell’s aesthetic theory in 1914. Keynes’s complex reaction to these debates left its mark on his philosophy of probability presented in A Treatise on Probability (1921).

🔆How to Run Surveys: A Guide to Creating Your Own
#Paper

✍🏻Stefanie Stantcheva (Harvard University)

◾️The paper opens by highlighting the essential role of surveys in economic research:
"Surveys are an essential approach for eliciting otherwise invisible factors such as perceptions, knowledge and beliefs, attitudes, and reasoning. These factors are critical determinants of social, economic, and political outcomes. Surveys are not merely a research tool. They are also not only a way of collecting data. Instead, they involve creating the process that will generate the data. This allows the researcher to create their own identifying and controlled variation."

The article provides comprehensive guidance from survey design to data collection and analysis, covering issues related to the sampling process, selection and attrition, attention and carelessness, survey question design and measurement, response biases, and survey experiments.

آیا اقتصاد رفتاری محکوم به شکست است؟
🔆Is Behavioral Economics Doomed?
#Book

✍🏻David K. Levine (Royal Holloway University of London)

◾️In this comprehensive critique of behavioral economics, Levine examines the fundamental tension between rational choice theory and behavioral approaches in economics. The book systematically explores whether psychological explanations and behavioral theories truly address the limitations of traditional economic theory.

Starting with an evaluation of economic theory's empirical successes and failures, both in laboratory and real-world settings, Levine develops a rigorous framework for analyzing behavioral theories. He delves into crucial topics including rationality in decision-making, systematic biases, temporal choices, and decision-making under uncertainty. The analysis extends to learning processes and social interactions, culminating in a thoughtful examination of the intersection between psychology, neuroscience, and economics.

Throughout nine carefully structured chapters, Levine challenges popular assumptions about irrational behavior and psychological biases, offering a nuanced perspective on how human psychology influences economic decisions. The book concludes by examining the broader implications for the future of economic theory and its relationship with behavioral sciences.

زبان سیاسی در اقتصاد
🔆Political Language in Economics
#Paper

✍🏻Zubin Jelveh (Maryland), Bruce Kogut (Columbia), Suresh Naidu (Columbia)

◾️This innovative study investigates how economists' political orientations are reflected in their academic writing. Using machine learning techniques, the authors analyze the relationship between economists' political behavior and the language used in their academic publications. The research demonstrates that political partisanship can be predicted from academic text with significant accuracy, revealing systematic patterns in how political ideology manifests in economic research.
The study reveals several key findings: economists tend to sort into different research fields based on their political leanings, and partisan differences are detectable even within fields studying the same theoretical parameters. Notably, the authors find that estimated policy-relevant parameters correlate with predicted partisanship. For instance, estimates of the taxable top income elasticity vary systematically with authors' political orientation, leading to different optimal tax rate recommendations – from 77% for left-leaning economists to 60% for right-leaning ones.

◾️ این مطالعه با استفاده از تکنیک‌های یادگیری ماشین نشان می‌دهد که جهت‌گیری سیاسی اقتصاددانان در نوشته‌های علمی آنها منعکس می‌شود. یافته‌های پژوهش حاکی از آن است که اقتصاددانان تمایل دارند حوزه‌های پژوهشی خود را بر اساس گرایش‌های سیاسی‌شان انتخاب کنند. مهم‌تر آنکه، این گرایش‌های سیاسی حتی بر تخمین پارامترهای سیاست‌گذاری نیز تأثیرگذار است.

🔆Climbing the Ivory Tower: How Socio-Economic Background Shapes Academia

#Paper

Authors: Ran Abramitzky (Stanford), Lena Greska (Munich), Santiago Pérez (UC Davis), Joseph Price, Carlo Schwarz (Bocconi), Fabian Waldinger (Munich)

◾️We explore how socio-economic background shapes academia, collecting the largest dataset of U.S. academics’ backgrounds and research output. Individuals from poorer backgrounds have been severely underrepresented for seven decades, especially in humanities and elite universities. Father’s occupation predicts professors’ discipline choice and, thus, the direction of research. While we find no differences in the average number of publications, academics from poorer backgrounds are both more likely to receive recognition, as measured by citations, Nobel Prize nominations, and awards.

🔆Power and progress
#Video

🎙Daron Acemoğlu (MIT, Nobel laureate)

◾️Daron Acemoğlu’s lecture delves into some of the most critical questions we face today: How will technological advancements, particularly in AI and automation, shape the future of our society? Will these innovations drive widespread prosperity, or will they deepen inequality and entrench power among a select few?
He offers a unique perspective on these pressing issues. He argues that while technology holds immense transformative potential, its outcomes are not predetermined. The key question is: who will control this progress, and under what conditions will it unfold?

🔆Qualitative Research Simply Explained
#Blog

◾️Behind every research method lies a set of assumptions about reality, knowledge, and how we come to understand the world. In qualitative research, these assumptions are rooted in an interpretive view of the world; one that sees reality as constructed, meaning as negotiated, and knowledge as shaped through human experience.
