De #Nobelprijs #Economie ligt onder vuur. Critici stellen dat de prijs een misleidende autoriteit verleent aan een discipline die vaak ideologisch gekleurd is.

To be Ukrainian online is to wake up in war and be asked to prove it happened
To mourn — and be told it was theatre
To speak — and be told you said too much
To be alive — and be blamed for it
This is what it means to be Ukrainian online

Russians abducted Yuliya Koveshnikova (53) from her home in Melitopol.

The Insider: They put a bag over her head, threw her into a flooded pit - no light, no toilet, and beat her for speaking Ukrainian.

Then moved her to a basement. “I heard people tortured to death,” she said. 1/

⚡️ Russians attacked firefighters in Kherson again, who had come to extinguish a fire caused by a previous attack. State Emergency Service reported that the rescuers hid in a bomb shelter, so no one was injured.

Every day, Russia uses drones to identify, track, and drop explosives on Kherson’s civilians. UN confirms: these attacks are war crimes and crimes against humanity.

#RussiaIsATerroristState – those responsible must be held accountable and face justice.

⚡️ Kyiv Mayor @vitaliy_klychko confirmed 8 dead and 77 wounded (31 of them were hospitalized). The night attack damaged 12 buildings. Rescuers continue to dismantle the rubble manually without using machinery, as people may be trapped under it.

The body of Ukrainian journalist, my former colleague Viktoria Roshchyna, has been returned to Ukraine, six months after her death. Viktoria was detained by Russia on the occupied territories of Ukraine, where she reported from. She was imprisoned in Russia, tortured and killed. She was just 27.

Russia tortures and imprisons workers from the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant, while the international Atomic Energy Agency sees nothing

Over 1,000 have been held captive. At least 20 are missing.

Volodymyr Zhaivoronok survived 53 days in Russian detention. His story.

Ukraine did what he asked; Russia did not; and now he will blame Ukraine and cozy up to Russia. This whole peace thing is a distraction from the ongoing war that Ukraine has no choice but to fight because it is being asssulted every day.

This morning, russia launched a massive attack on central Kherson, bombing residential areas and then targeting rescue crews with artillery. A clear tactic to kill civilians and punish those trying to save them. One dead, three injured. Sports center, supermarket, homes destroyed.

🔴 Zelenskyy: "Unfortunately, the reaction of the American Embassy is unpleasantly surprising: such a strong country, such a strong people, and such a weak reaction. They are even afraid to say the word “Russian” when talking about the missile that killed the children."

Russian forces struck a military hospital in Kharkiv. The hospital building and nearby residential buildings were destroyed. A number of wounded soldiers dead and dozens injured.

Single biggest supplier of oil tankers to Russia's shadow fleet is Greece. Greek shipping oligarchs successfully lobbied against prohibition of such tanker sales to the shadow fleet. No other EU country did more to help Russia. Actions must have consequences. Greece should lose any say in Brussels.

Exclusive: US could cut Ukraine's access to Starlink internet services over minerals, say sources U.S. negotiators pressing Kyiv for access to Ukraine's critical minerals have raised the possibility of cutting the country's access to Elon Musk's vital Starlink satellite internet system, three sources familiar with the matter told Reuters.

"During the meeting, Ukraine was told it faced imminent shutoff of the Starlink service if it did not reach a deal on critical minerals, said the source, who requested anonymity to discuss closed negotiations."

Astonishing betrayal of an ally.

Congrats! 🎉

Our results suggests that design changes in how platforms present product ratings information can substantially shape the incentives for firms selling on a market platform and promote the sale of more responsible products.

Experimental results confirm that bundling ratings increases green investment substantially, in our specific setup by 15%–32% percentage points, while maintaining product quality investment and consumer purchasing behavior at similar high levels.

However, when externality labels and quality ratings are bundled into a single score, firms are likely to invest in both high product quality and lower externalities, even without widespread consumer activism for sustainability.

We show theoretically that when sustainability ratings/labels are displayed separately, firms selling on a platform invest in externality reduction only if enough consumers condition their purchase on the sustainability label.

Our research explores whether integrating e.g. sustainability information directly into consumer product ratings—rather than displaying this information as separate ecolabels—can incentivize firms to reduce negative externalities.

How could product ratings be used to help market platforms sell more responsible products, even if most consumers don't condition their purchases on any added green labels?

I am happy to announce the paper "Product Ratings and Externalities" written together with Magnus Knutsen has been accepted for publication at Management Science.

on top of the mass murder, it has been also one of the two finest MRI facilities in the region. this was a calibrated and sadistic attack on the healthcare of frontline Zaporizhzhia. genocide is russian culture

As background for why this paper is important, there is a big lit that medical professionals are bad at conditional probabilities (incl base rate neglect). This is an issue because they have to calculate them all the time for diagnosis and treatment recs.
