In this paper, @rich-norman.bsky.social and I & co-authors examine how to judge when a HRQoL value set becomes 'obsolete'. Some of the value sets used to estimate QALYs are very old. When do they cease to become a valid representation of societal preferences? tinyurl.com/obsolete-val...

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.

Thread for those new to BlueSky. First of all, welcome. It feels like a safer space, doesn’t it? But also perhaps a bit disorienting initially? Here’s some tips for getting your bearings.

I’m wondering if a cheating student has yet been caught out by auto-correct ruining their ChatGPT prompt? Philosophy instructor puzzling over why someone has just submitted 1500 word on the meaning of lift.

I just came across this working paper by Charles Manski: 'What is the general welfare? Welfare economic perspectives'. It's a jolly good read for anyone interested in the use of preferences data in public policy. 👉https://faculty.wcas.northwestern.edu/cfm754/what_is_the%20general_welfare.pdf

Atlas of AI by @katecrawford.bsky.social is fantastic. From the story of Clever Hans the Horse, to the unknown (to me!) origins of Bentham's panopticon, it is both scholarly & completely riveting, taking in a vast sweep of historical, political, economic & environmental context. What a book!

Good news, Altmetric has now started watching BlueSky for mentions of publications. And by the way, provides an easy comparison between this and the old site for a recent preprint of mine which I posted simultaneousl at both. Numbers speak by themselves !

These two papers, taken together, really cause a rethinking of behavioral economies. Rather than having anomalous risk preferences; it looks like people have complexity aversion to "hard" decisions, especially on valuation, which drives behavioral anomalies. Herbert Simon ftw.

Has my accent changed since I left the UK in 2019? It seems so! The only way I can log into my old UK bank account mobile banking app, which requires me to say numbers into the phone, is by putting on an exaggerated phoney British accent.

"Musk may have convinced himself he bought Twitter protect the global town square...But the truth was much simpler. Whether or not he wanted to admit it, he had bought it for himself, and for a brief moment, he had the thing he wanted most. How owned Twitter - and then it was gone." 👇

The inverse law of long distance conference travel (>30 hours from NZ to ISPOR Europe): the closer to the conference destination you get, the more likely you are to start bumping into people, and the less likely to you are to look anywhere near presentable.
