Today is the day!!! Existential Politics is out in the world!

Read about why we’re doing climate policy wrong (too focused on measuring emissions) & what we should do instead (focus on $$ to constrain fossil asset owners & expand green asset owners). Just in time for #COP30.

Natürlich ist das so, wie Sie sagen. Trotzdem ist es erheblich lokaler (was die Spürbarkeit angeht) als Emissionsvermeidung. Deshalb: man kann doch nicht den "Vibe Shift" wegreden, indem man auf lokale Anpassungsmaßnahmen verweist. Das ist am Problem vorbei argumentiert.

Für Anpassung wird sich sowieso stets eine Mehrheit finden lassen. Die wirkt ja unmittelbar, und eben vor Ort. Der Vibe Shift betrifft die Emissionsvermeidung, und über die diesbzezügliche Regulation entscheiden keine Kommunen und keine entschlossenen Minderheiten. Sondern eben Mehrheiten.

Mag sein, nur nützt sie dort nichts - es sei denn man argumentiert über sehr indirekte Effekte wie "Vorbildfunktion" oder "Machbarkeit demonstrieren". Die wesentliche Klimapolitik wird durch Regierungen gemacht. Und für die sind Mehrheiten entscheidend, nicht die Entschlossenheit weniger.

Sprache mag subjektiv Realität schaffen, nur wird aus diesen Beispielen lokalen Engagements hier noch lange keine Klimapolitik. Und schonmal gar keine globale. In der Realität.

Insights into Elsevier's business model. "Publishers trade off higher returns in the short run with maintaining prestige in the long run." And I even guess this long-term-prestige objective only applies to upper tier Elsevier journals like Energy Economics.

At @i4replication.bsky.social it is our ambition to foster a replication culture in the social sciences – and we hence welcome if our approaches are replicated as well: Replication Games on using LLM in experiments, in Valencia and Oxford. talkingtomachines.org/projects/ime...

In essence, virtually all replicated scholars imply that, unless the replication confirms their results. Is it fragility or really a lack of skills? We don't know, we are lacking a benchmark to judge. Harry Collins coined the term "experimenter's regress" for that paradox.

I occasionally read econometric instrumental variables (IV) literature, and I am always struck by the mismatch between the premise of these econometricians that IVs are used to generate knowledge and the truth that IVs are actually used to generate interesting results for highly ranked publications.

The pretty draft is now online.

Link to paper (free): www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/epdf/10....

Our replication package starts from the raw data and we put real work into making it readable & setting it up so people could poke at it, so please do explore it: dataverse.harvard.edu/dataset.xhtm...
The social sciences face a replicability crisis. A key determinant of replication success is statistical power. We assess the power of political science research by collating over 16,000 hypothesis tests from about 2,000 articles in 46 areas of the discipline. Under generous assumptions, we show that quantitative research in political science is greatly underpow- ered: the median analysis has about 10% power, and only about 1 in 10 tests have at least 80% power to detect the consensus effects reported in the literature. We also find substantial heterogeneity in tests across research areas, with some being characterized by high power but most having very low power. To contextualize our findings, we survey political methodologists to assess their expectations about power levels. Most methodologists greatly overestimate the statistical power of political science research.
