Very sad to hear of the passing of John Kagel.
He was a foundational figure in behavioral and experimental economics and his research reshaped how economists think about strategic interaction and social preferences. His teaching and mentorship influenced generations of students.

Not all of them are fraudulent, but that's how many could potentially be investigated by her co-authors. There are many more less obvious cases of fraud in there than the 4 papers that made the headlines.

1) Gino committed repeated research fraud (138 papers!).
2) Several influential and wealthy people (Lessig, Ackman, P&Q) continue to support her.
3) Harvard changed its review procedures.
4) Gino will likely get a settlement because of 3) ... which has nothing to do with 1).

Over on Twitter/X, Bill Ackman (of Harvard/Claudine Gay/plagiarism/tennis debacle fame) has written another 3,000+ word post.
He believes that Francesca Gino's RAs faked her data. And, plot twist, he's been funding Gino's legal battle against Harvard since 2024.

The brilliant Kate Ho has passed away.
She was an amazing economist and a genuinely kind human being. Her work shaped how we think about healthcare markets and her generosity touched everyone lucky enough to know her.
The profession and the world are poorer without her.

Goal for the next six months: dive into the debate on identification of demand elasticities in finance. Feels like asset pricing is rehashing debates from IO twenty years ago? But that’s good because it’s an important debate! @steveberry.bsky.social

In Sweden, corporate acquisitions lead to persistent earnings losses for workers.
Wages fall, some workers are displaced, and the gains largely go to acquiring CEOs and shareholders.
Employment and revenue stay flat. Profit rises because value is extracted from workers.
