It's been a quiet week in terms of my keeping up with research, as I've been travelling. However, here's what caught my eye in research over the past week:
- Rasmussena, Borb, and Petersen merge Twitter data with Danish administrative data, and find that individuals with more aggressive dispositions (as proxied by having many more criminal verdicts) are more hostile in social media conversations, and that people from more resourceful childhood environments (those with better grades in primary school and higher parental socioeconomic status) are more hostile on average, as such people are more politically engaged
In other news, as I said above my wife and I have been travelling this week. We started in Texas, then Oklahoma, and now Arkansas (with Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana to come). While in Texas, I had the great pleasure of meeting Cyril Morong, The Dangerous Economist:
Next week may also be fairly quiet on the blog, as I'll be at the North American Regional Science Congress in New Orleans. And, New Orleans, of course.
It was a pleasure meeting you and Gemma as well. Have fun in New Orleans
