I am relieved, for a second I thought there was yet another DiD estimator I had never heard of. Condensed Average Random Effects (CARE)?

Glückwunsch!

💯 It reminds me of Bregman’s" Im Grunde Gut" where he revisits many supposedly established social scientific "facts", like the stanford prison experiment or milgram experiment only to uncover how deeply normatively loaded and context-dependent they really were.

Bridging the Gap Between Statistical Models and Real-World Meaning

How to Extract Actionable Insights from Statistical Models.

Science survives by codes that shrink complexity. P‑values win because they translate messy data into the binary “significant/insignificant,” a contingency formula steering communication & decisions across fields. 0.05 keeps autopoiesis humming. #Luhmann #SystemsTheory

Ausgezeichnete Rezension!

Ideen für klimasoziale Maßnahmen gibt es viele! Kernidee ist, dass man Energieverbrauch differenziert nach Grundbedürfnissen oder nicht. Analog zur Idee der Gaspreisbremse, die ja auch nur für einen Grundverbrauch galt.

Male victimhood ideology driven by perceived status loss, not economic hardship, among Korean men Research published in Sex Roles suggests that male victimhood ideology among South Korean men is driven more by perceived socioeconomic status decline rather than objective economic hardship.

Despite patriarchy's persistence, growing numbers of men believe they have it worse off than women. And, new research shows this "male victimhood" ideology is most common among men who aren't facing hardship. Which means what they're really feeling is status loss. 1/

They mean the fallacy of one-armed (within group) treatment analysis.

8/ Policy takeaways:

Revenue recycling isn’t one-size-fits-all.
Effectiveness messaging is a universal win.
Cost transparency? Handle with care.
International cooperation’s impact depends on context.

7/ Our experiment showed that optimizing policy design—combining effectiveness communication, lump-sum transfers—can even make higher tax levels palatable. 🚀

6/ 🌐 Global cooperation? Support varies. Germans liked policies tied to EU, US, China, & India acting together. But in China, international tax alignment lowered support. Regional dynamics matter.

5/ Revenue recycling schemes preferences vary widely:

Germany & China lean toward per-capita reimbursements.
India favors targeted cash transfers for the poorest.
The UK prefers welfare investments.

Policy design must reflect these diverse priorities and adapt communication accordingly.

4/ Meanwhile, highlighting policy effectiveness boosted support across the board. People want to know if their action will lead to tangible climate benefits. 🌿 Evidence-backed communication is 🔑. #CarbonTaxes

3/ 🚨 Key finding: Cost messaging matters. In Germany & China, focusing solely on household cost increases reduced support. Instead, linking costs to tangible benefits—like cleaner air, climate resilience, or financial returns from revenue recycling—can shift perceptions. #ClimatePolicy

2/ We surveyed 4 countries—China, Germany, India, and the UK—with a factorial experiment (~13k evaluations). We tested policy designs addressing:

Perceived effectiveness
Costs
Revenue use
International cooperation

1/ Carbon taxes are key to hitting global climate goals, yet they're deeply unpopular. Why? Concerns about fairness, costs, and effectiveness often dominate. 🌱💸 Our study uncovers solutions for overcoming these hurdles. Here's what we found. 👇

I think subsetting first should reduce repeated indexing overhead and interpreter bookkeeping. Working on a subsetted list R should run fewer lookups, leading to faster execution (and more efficient memory allocation).

Brilliant package!
