    Bottom line: not much matters, except the width of the slider bounds. Wider slider bounds seem to nudge people towards larger estimates, and this isn't an artifact of some estimates being censored with narrow slider bounds because the estimates are larger throughout.

    But the approach used to elicit forecasts could really matter. We test out: providing larger or smaller reference values in the project description; asking for forecasts in different units (raw units or SD); text box or slider entry; large or small slider bounds.

    Differences between perceived and actual support for research transparency practices, presented by at .

    Ever wonder "Were those results p-hacked?" Brodeur et al. propose a useful new check ("speccheck" on Stata. R/etc. coming soon).

    Results from pilot of Social Science Prediction Platform: 4 crossed randomizations, nothing affects predicted treatment effects except slider bar widths. ( presenting joint work with Nick Otis and myself.)

    Oh right, I'm supposed to share this other pic, aren't I? If interested in , hope to see you Saturday at 2:30 pm, Marriott Marquis, Marriott Grand Ballroom 13. (Unlike what it says in the program, we'll be going first, but the whole session should be good!)

    Nice results on an early childcare program presented by Matthew Wiswall at : child cognitive skills increase, hours of maternal/other care decrease, and quality of maternal care increases (due to reducing an "exhaustion" effect?).

    Very important paper by Travis Baseler: young people in rural areas in Kenya mispredict wages in cities (migrants from rural areas have incentive to misreport back home), and providing accurate info can increase migration.

    Gabriel and I are slowly getting our photos back from our event, and I'd love to share but Twitter's a bit too public. So if you know either of us and want to see photos of a day of love, puzzles, and games, find us on Facebook. :)

    Whew! Finishing up a trip to the Midwest, I headed down to UChicago (Hyde Park) and then their Poverty Lab (part of the Urban Labs) downtown. What a whirlwind day - but had a great time.

    A long time ago I signed up for to see what it was like, and today I got an email saying "You’re $12 over budget for Alcohol & Bars." Weird - did someone steal a credit card? No, no, it's just how they classify Overleaf.

    CIs were better interpreted than p-values, according to ⁦⁩ at . Super-interesting - I'll add there's a lot more we still need to know about how to best present evidence (e.g. what type of CI, plugging some of my own work with Aidan Coville).

    Nice figure from Carl Bergstrom:

    Fantastic talk by at : "social science as we do it is impossible" (in reference to studies not being powered for the interaction effects we care about).
