😔 A new study by Hadavand et al. finds that it takes on average 25 months from submission to acceptance in economics (compared to 13 in psychology and 6 in the hard sciences). pubs.aeaweb.org/doi/pdfplus/...

Do you think that learning more about causal inference is not worth it because you're running experiments anyway, or because you're interested in predictive questions? In that case, I've written a paper just for you, out now in SPPC: compass.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Causal inference for psychologists who think that causal inference is not for them. Correlation does not imply causation and psychologists' causal inference training often focuses on the conclusion that therefore experiments are needed—without much consideration for the causal inference frameworks used elsewhere. This leaves researchers ill-equipped to solve inferential problems that they encounter in their work, leading to mistaken conclusions and incoherent statistical analyses. For a more systematic approach to causal inference, this article provides brief introductions to the potential outcomes framework—the “lingua franca” of causal inference—and to directed acyclic graphs, a graphical notation that makes it easier to systematically reason about complex causal situations. I then discuss two issues that may be of interest to researchers in social and personality psychology who think that formalized causal inference is of little relevance to their work. First, posttreatment bias:...
DAG illustrating posttreatment bias which can be induced in randomized experiments whenever researchers condition on posttreatment variables
Figure illustrating various reasons why demonstrations of incremental validity may be unimpressive: established predictors are omitted, measurement error is ignored, only little predictive utility is gained

Since the open access costs were absolutely unaffordable, please reach out if you are interested in the paper. Thanks once more to my long-term work 'husband' Andreas Hartung for the collaboration!

Our results speak to two theoretical concepts: the ‘discouraged worker effect’ and ‘hedging’.Especially students from lower-status families in tight local labour markets are discouraged from entering VET and continue in school thereby increasing their advantages on the VET market.
