this is how a fish would wear pants

Experimental economists: Look, we can make fish wear pants in the laboratory.

elben.bsky.social•80 days ago

Assume the pants are twice differentiable.

elliotlip.bsky.social•80 days ago

This is a family website.

if it's twice differentiable content you seek, check out you''tube

Sadly, this assumption is inconsistent with stylized facts.

You and Emo Phillips are why I made the jump to BlueSky

There are no pants that cover at least a quarter of the fish's body, have horizontal belt line, and expose the face fully.

If you're going to post my working papers @ me bro.

Assume a can opener

muunver.bsky.social•80 days ago

This is just an existence proof and clearly useless without a characterization of style of pants.

combeju.bsky.social•80 days ago

I guess a constructive proof would also be nice so that we also know how we can make the fish wear the pants and not just that it can wear pants

combeju.bsky.social•80 days ago

And of course, market designers would also prefer a polynomial strategy proof algorithm that can elicit the preferences of fishes for pants and make them wear the Pareto efficient one sided pants matching would also be nice

Most of us would simply say, why would a fish ever wear pants in response to the general theory of fish pants.

Empirical economists are skeptical of this model because there hasn't been any RCT.

jlperla.bsky.social•80 days ago

That is why counterfactual trousers require a structural model of discrete pant decision of fish.

kohiwonomu.bsky.social•80 days ago

IMO, that model looks pretty overfitted to me.

khoavuumn.bsky.social•80 days ago

Development economists are skeptical because it may not apply to fishes in the Global South.

Historical economists are asking whether it was caused by the Plague or the industrial revolution
