Is It a Coin Flip or Is It Justice? It Could Be Both. Game theory shows that it often makes sense for judges to rule at random.

In a healthy legal system, a judge’s decision is often indistinguishable from a coin flip, according to new game theory research from Prof. Alvaro Sandroni. Read why at Kellogg Insight. #KelloggLeader kell.gg/z4xh

Which Political Party Provides More Funding for Science? Though both Republicans and Democrats have historically supported federal funding of research, one party has spent more.

Research led by Kellogg’s @dashunwang.bsky.social and @alexanderfurnas.com studied 40 years of data and found that the government provided more funding for science and research under Republican presidencies or when Republicans controlled the House of Representatives than under Democratic leadership.

Partisan disparities in the funding of science in the United States Republican lawmakers consistently provided robust federal funding, often exceeding Democrats

Thrilled that my paper "Partisan disparities in the funding of science in the United States" with Nic Fishman, @leahrosenstiel.bsky.social, and @dashunwang.bsky.social was published in @science.org today!

How Your Business Can Adapt to Tariffs—and Come Out Ahead Start by finding alternative sourcing locations. And if you don’t have them, build them now.

I don't usually post my work here anymore, because most of it is paywalled, but I'm excited to make my debut for @kellogginsight.bsky.social! I wrote about Professor Sunil Chopra's advice on how businesses can navigate the shifting tariff environment: insight.kellogg.northwestern.edu/article/tari...

Knock Knock. Who’s There? Generative AI. Learning that a joke, a story, or art came from AI boosts our confidence in our creativity.

It’s common to believe that AI's less creative than humans. So after people look at a piece of AI-generated art or writing, they often start to feel more confident in their own creative abilities, according to research by Kellogg’s Jake Teeny. insight.kellogg.northwestern.edu/article/knoc...!

Lists are fun.

When are LLMs-as-judge reliable?

That's a big question for frontier labs and it's a big question for computational social science.

Excited to share our findings (led by @aakriti1kumar.bsky.social!) on how to address this question for any subjective task & specifically for empathic communications

Very excited for our new publication in @nature.com about the difficulty of pivoting in science. In some sense, this project was my own "pivot" to engage more with a general science audience for the first time. Its really gratifying to see it in print.

It was fantastic talking to @usatoday.com about how households can prepare for a recession

If you're considering building up a savings buffer for a recession, but also have substantial credit card debt, it makes more financial sense to pay down debt than to save

💡New paper at #CHI2025 💡

Large scale experiment with 750k obs addressing

(1) How photorealistic are today's AI-generated images?

(2) What features of images influence people's ability to distinguish real/fake?

(3) How should we categorize artifacts?
