Ich habe es auch so in Erinnerung, dass das Wort in der "linken Szene" (soweit man bei Teenagern davon reden kann) zu der Zeit ΓΌblich war. Auch Leute, die es selber getragen haben, haben eher Pali oder PLO Tuch statt Kufiya gesagt.

There are few old-fashioned customs that give me the ick as much as people referring to things as "finding them vulgar"

Portfolio Competition: Why Conventional Antitrust Fails in Oligopolistic Information Markets Achim & Strausz: "Oligopolistic Information Markets" CRC Discussion Paper No. 554

How does competitive pressure fail to protect buyers in information markets? Our new model of "portfolio competition" shows that when signals are complements, sellers leverage the buyer's desire for the joint portfolio to extract the full social surplus.

When Better Products Hurt Profits: The Hidden Costs of Quality in Retail Shin & Strausz: "Demand-Investment in Distribution Channels" CRC Discussion Paper No. 553

Why can boosting product quality actually reduce a manufacturer's profits? Our findings show that when retailers control pricing, increasing demand strengthens the retailer's power, compelling manufacturers to give up more profit and optimally limit product quality.

That's pretty much the opposite of what I had in mind.

I am visiting Cyprus for EWMES and it's raining with a storm coming up. I feel cheated. Nobody has it as hard as me.

It's also obvious to me, but I guess the problem is that most people lack the will to say it.

Mapping Open Science: New Data on Pre-Registration in Experimental Economics Imai et al.: "Pre-Registration and Pre-Analysis Plans in Experimental Economics" CRC Discussion Paper No. 530

Pre-registration has become mainstream, yet trade-offs persist: Our new survey finds that researchers assign a credibility premium to significant results from pre-registered tests, but a significant proportion expects a negative impact on research creativity and volume.

I will present at the ES Winter Meeting, and I couldn't search and find my name on the program. I was about to message the organizers. The reason I didn't find me is that I went through all theory sessions, but in fact I am presenting in "Experimental Economics II." Still getting used to this...

How much does out-of-school learning influence foreign-language acquisition? Our new analysis shows that historical national decisions to subtitle imported TV content systematically result in a large positive effect on English-language skills.

The song is inspired by a woman the singer met in London in the 80s, and the funniest rumor is that this woman later married the Greek economist and former finance minister Yanis Varoufakis. It's probably not true, but he fueled the rumor himself πŸ™ƒ

The semester is about to start and today I was asked if I am a freshman. That's a clear sign that I don't work enough.
