Really interesting and insightful paper!

Contributes to the important project of understanding how people actually represent complex systems in the world around them in their minds, and how this can influence (economic) behavior.

Fascinating study! While it uses data from football, it plausibly reveals patterns of behavior that are prevalent in many domains of everyday life, but where rich data may not exist.

Excited to share a new WP with my good friend @billywoom, in time for this weekend's European football leagues kickoff ⚽️

“Skin Tone Penalties: Bottom-up Discrimination in Football”

Using football as a lab, we study colorism or skin tone discrimination.
