I have a new working paper w/Ivan Badinski, Amy Finkelstein, & Matt Gentzkow! We use a "movers" design to study the role of physician practice intensity for widely-documented geographic variation in healthcare spending The punchline? Doctor sorting matters a lot! www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/s3tci...
Cool work dissecting errors in self-reported information in uk biobank. How this relates to study participation and can we correct for it? www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1...

I appreciate this preprint below by Sommet et al. for several reasons. 1️⃣ First of all, it offers an intuitive taxonomy of 12 well-studied 2x2 interactions in psychological science. 2️⃣ It highlights how underpowered most of the recent work in #socialpsyc is due to the power miscalculations!
Now I'm here, I may as well plug our new paper on the non-independence of nations! 🌏 So happy for this to finally be published open-access at Nature Communications. Worth a read if you're thinking of including any cross-national analyses in your next project!
Nations are connected in many ways, yet cross-national analyses often assume they are independent. Here, the authors show that previous studies may not have sufficiently accounted for this non-indepen...
Endel Tulving has died this week. A giant in the field. He will be missed although his work will remain. I’m doing some mental time travel, remembering meeting him and teaching his work. Imagining how I will teach his work in the coming academic year.
Excited to share our work on quantifying the causal impact of biological risk factors on healthcare costs! Here are some highlights from our study. Now published in a journal that cannot be tagged in bsky yet. www.nature.com/articles/s41...
