      glaeser once said something to the effect of "game theory is so mathematically clean that it attracts far too many economics, on balance, than should be studying game theory" i think this is certainly true about behavioral but think the hype by now has died down sufficiently

      this reminds me of one of the funniest refutations of the Austrians / praxeology peeps: that conventional econ has passed the market test because private industry employs it

      one of my professors who was previously managing partner of the mckinsey washington office commented "the core of marketing is just calculating price elasticities but for some reason that's not what our marketing department bothers to teach you"

      this is extremely true however they don't experiment with things like prime, or not exactly too hard to actually segregate groups, stuff like that they were doing matching model stuff for that in 2015 or so when I interviewed, imagine they've gotten more sophisticated since
