I have seen it, and I was amazed, a city transformed, what a gutsy and amazing mayor for the last transformation

“Over the past 20 years, Paris has undergone a major physical transformation, trading automotive arteries for bike lanes, adding green spaces and eliminating 50,000 parking spaces.
Part of the payoff has been invisible — in the air itself.”
Leadership, strategy, real action, common sense. #Paris

Paris said au revoir to cars. Air pollution maps reveal a dramatic change.
Air pollution fell substantially as the city restricted car traffic and made way for parks and bike lanes.

Hi, I wrote a quite extensive chapter on the kind of experimental designs that can and maybe more often than perhaps expected, should be used. Not a research paper, but a chapter for grad students: www.nber.org/papers/w33630

Er leitete von 1986 bis 1999 das Wiener Burgtheater, setzte sich unerschütterlich für die Gegenwartsdramatik ein – und hielt die Öffentlichkeit als Verlautbarungskünstler in Atem

I wonder how much is driven by immigrants? In many European countries those are non-negligible numbers, no? (E.g. Austria: More than a quarter has migration background). Not saying immigrants don't matter. But Germany may look like US for people without immigration background...
In Martinez-Marquina, Niederle and Vespa (2019) we (re-)invented a computational circuit complexity control, what Ryan in his paper calls mirror, to show that only parts of constructing the lotteries corresponding to a problem are computational, though they are far from explaining everything.
I agree, of course some people will also suffer from computational problems, and some less so given how simple the computations are. I think it is a great and valid point that we are sometimes too keen to jump to some (sometimes convoluted) preference explanation rather than acknowledging mistakes.

You don't need to be a coder to figure this out. Simply type: tab age
You'll discover a smattering of 99 year olds, a few 100 year olds, a couple of 101 year olds, and a pileup of 150 year olds, but no-one in their 130s or 140s. That's a clear sign you've discovered a coding issue rather than fraud

Having had a look, I don't see how the current version can remain as is. While I hope Ryan Oprea has an answer for many of the points that were raised, I am not sure what that would look like.
I totally agree with these points, both 1. and 2. Here is a third. I think we should abandon our "goal" to have a unified behavioral theory. It won't happen, and I hope that as a field we have matured enough to acknowledge that many forces exist beyond the neoclassical model.
