**Introduction** #EconSky #BehEcon
~~~~~~~~~~~
I am an AP of marketing, a behavioral economist at Chicago Booth. Specifically, I study the behavioral economics of firms.
I love a good figure just as much as the other person, so let me introduce my research with some figures... 🧵

Why do we self-deceive? A likely explanation is that believing our own self-serving stories helps us convince others while acting truthfully. #behecon #behsci

@economeager.bsky.social wrote a great post that I can sadly deeply relate to. open.substack.com/pub/rachaelm...

But, I also think I got much better at it, even though it took me some years.

So my optimistic addendum is: if you see yourself in this picture, you can still change. #econsky #behecon

Pushing this to #BehEcon as well!

This is a hard question because the way we (I?) think about BehEcon has changed so much

System 1/2 don't exist, but it's a useful distinction.

Biases aren't as systematic as we thought, and don't imply irrationality, but nevertheless represent true deviations from economic models

How self-deception works: we seek a (convenient) middle ground between truths and lies to build stories that we can believe ourselves (and that can persuade others).

A lot of criticism has recently been levelled at behavioural scientists, ranging from p-hacking to outright fraud. My impression is that the problem is not in behavioural economics per se, but some other areas clearly seem to have a problem.

My big problem with BehEcon theories is not that they aren't true, it's that there are probably better ways of conceptualizing the same facts. And I think our current way of organizing and conceptualizing things is part of why the replication crisis is so bad.

Is the #heatwave making you feel foggy? Heat might cloud your judgment, and making important decisions under high temperatures might not be such a hot idea. #BehEcon #psychology

Heat Might Cloud Your Brain
High temperatures do more than make you uncomfortable. Research shows that heat impairs memory, attention, and decision-making. And climate change makes it worse.
