Ja, bompengene øker, men inntektene fra veibruksavgiften faller raskere. Bilistene betaler altså ikke mer enn før for bruk av veiene, men regningen er mer ujevnt fordelt.

Lurking within the new Ariely scandal is the incentive problem of editors giving R&Rs that ask for new analyses (that need to turn out a specific way) or even in psych whole new experiments (ditto).

In Boston until Sunday at #APSA. Will co-present this paper with @benansell.bsky.social tomorrow (14 to 15.30). Do come along. The contrast between Boston in late summer and the dark clouds of autocratisation couldn’t be more jarring. Useful to bear this in mind as we discuss ideas & arguments

For those who don’t follow video games, there is constant policing of any AI use among small, indie developers. They are the most resource constrained firms in a field where profits are rare & artistic vision is often compromised, but they are punished more harshly than big devs by their audience.

A summary of what I understand and do not understand about the way democracy works: papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=7269378

Similarly, work search requirements mandated by UI no longer map to how actually searching for a job works. People have to pretend to look for a job to satisfy UI requirements and then *actually* look for a job. www.niskanencenter.org/wp-content/u...

📄 And another working paper: **Pretty much all citizens say they support democracy.** But what do they mean by that? We ask whether voters from different partisan camps mean the same thing when they talk about "democracy." Paper: osf.io/preprints/so...

If anyone had any doubt about what kind of publisher Frontiers is, this is a shocking whistleblower account

Over the last month I saw that human editors are now stripped of control. I could no longer stop the system from auto-inviting "reviewers" with zero relevant expertise. Even worse - the AI began actively revoking the invitations I manually sent out to actual, qualified experts.

A great opportunity for an ambitious scholar to work with some of the best researchers ( and people )in Norwegian political science!

The key implication: people have a general tendency to personal favoritism in professional selection, even in highly formalized bureaucracies. If autocrats can instrumentalize this tendency to select people who are in line with regime objectives, it stabilizes the regime instead of threatening it.
