Episode description

To what extent can we rely on published research results? Why should we question Kahneman’s loss aversion study? And why is the 60+ million viewed TED-talk on power posing not reliable? In this episode, we have a conversation with Anna Dreber Almenberg, the first female Economic professor at Stockholm School of Economics. She has been active at Harvard University since 2006 and today she works as a researcher of behavioral economics mainly in the field of metascience - the science of science. We discuss different research experiments and why it matters to be critical of research results that don’t replicate. Don’t forget to subscribe to the Megadeals Podcast!
