Looking forward to this seminar. Such an honor to be in a line -up with so many researchers I admire. I'll be talking about my field experiment on consumer inertia and why attention isn't enough to overcome it!

Denmark is best in EU in getting workers back into jobs (twice the average rate). They also do tons of RCTs to find out what works and apply behavior science. Can’t say it’s causal, but it’s an interesting correlation at least.

I 2024 var Danmark bedst i #EU til at få ledige i job. 40,8 pct. af de ledige i et givent kvartal, kom i job i det efterfølgende kvartal, hvilket er væsentligt over EU-gennemsnittet på 24,2 pct. Det er 14. år i træk, at Danmark er EU-mestre i at få ledige i job #dkpol www.ae.dk/analyse/2025...

Excited to host Benjamin Enke as this year’s Zeuthen lecturer the University of Copenhagen. The lectures run over three days and are complemented by a workshop on the cognitive foundations of decision making.

Only one year after replacing their customer service and marketing team with AI agents, Klarna is regretting the decision and trying to re-hire workers. The quality was just too low to justify the cost-savings. So looks like AI isn't taking your job, just yet. futurism.com/klarna-opena...

This also raises some questions about PhD supervision and data protection at MIT - some supervisor would have needed to sign a data sharing agreement and a secure server would have been needed for the data. That’s a lot of paperwork.

And harm to the companies using results like this to spend billions on tools that don't work. So far there is very little evidence that AI tools increase productivity for complex tasks. This fake study was one of the only ones.

One of the best AI papers on productivity turned out to be made up - so disappointing! I really liked the paper and had it saved as „best paper on AI“. Too good to be true! As much of AI claims to fame. www.msn.com/en-us/money/...

Nobody likes to feel ashamed all the time, so if we want to encourage more sustainable behavior we 1) need to be careful with moral appeals, and 2) make sure to target behaviors that really make a difference. Thanks, Mette Guldagger at @politiken.dk for interviewing me for this article

My field experiment students mentioned today in the evaluation how much they would like a comprehensive book. Glennester and Takavarasha is good and we use it currently, but too focused on development economics for my course. Glad this will come in time for next year's course!

I finally have a publication date for my new Experimental Economics textbook: December 12. Equally as important, I am proud to have negotiated a low price for the book: $38.10...for a nearly 800 page book! You can find the book here: www.amazon.com/Experimental...

Those who can best evaluate their peers also stand in direct competition to these peers - that creates incentives for dishonesty. Nevertheless, these institutions are prevalent in science and arts. Why do they work? We show this theoretically using psych game theory and an experiment.
