Ben WaberWell I finally got outside today, and going a few miles with crutches was much harder for me than running 30 miles. Still it was nice to get out and listen to some great talks for my crutches edition of my #AcademicRunPlaylist! (1/8)
First was a fascinating panel on the need for #GDPR harmonization at @edri's #PrivacyCamp23 with Lisette Mustert, Gwendal Le Grand, Romain Robert, @mariamagierska, and @ggf. This was an excellent run through of the different issues confronting cross-border GDPR enforcement, and the real life experience of a complaint against #Meta was incredibly detailed and revealing. Highly recommend https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FN9ZpK_ZLNo (2/8) #privacy
#PrivacyCamp23 - Saving GDPR enforcement thanks to procedural harmonisation: Great, but how exactly?
Next was an interesting talk by Stefania Paredes-Fuentes on the socio-economic diversity of the #economics field at Ateneo de #Manila University. To understand the most pressing issues confronting economies, diverse perspectives are required. Economics, unfortuantely, has consistantly fallen short in this area and the detailed analysis here shows that universities can do a lot more to improve representation https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kE-_vzmJ4ZA&t=2s (3/8) #DEI
[Eco Seminar Series] The socio-economic diversity of Economics
Next was a great discussion with Guido Imbens on disentangling correlation from #causation at the #StanfordGSB. Covered here were everything were why the distinction matters practically, the impact of massive #data collection, and more. Highly recommend https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pzwtf4DN6z4 (4/8)
Ep21 “Disentangling Causation and Correlation” with Guido Imbens
Next was an interesting talk by @axz on designing online community #governance at the @communitydata. Most governance mechanisms in online communities are baked into the code, but this talk brings important concepts from governance design more broadly into the conversation to imagine how these communities could be managed more effectively and legitimately. Not sure if legal scholars are involved, but that would be incredible here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UNmG_3Dr1SE (5/8)
Science of Community Dialogues: Designing and Building Governance in Online Communities
Next was an intriguing talk by Andrew Webster on causal attribution fractions in #health at the #AlanTuringInstitute. Starting with a simple premise - how much of a disease is caused by exposure - and then gets into the details of how to go about mathematical estimating that from data https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5xaDz6KfMb8 (6/8)
Casual Inference Interest Group Seminar
Next was an important talk by Nicole Draper and Joel Kniep on ethical issues in blood product shortages at the UC Center for #Bioethics and Humanities. When the pandemic dramatically reduced blood donations, hospitals the world over were faced with critical challenges of how to deal with their blood supply and how to treat particular patients. This is a deep dive on the issues they encountered and how they built an ethical framework around care https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vmlA3fhIWS0 (7/8)
Ethical Issues in Blood Product Shortages
Last was an engaging talk by Andrey Fradkin on determining if incentives to review on #platforms helps the market at #IIMA. Using data from #Airbnb, Fradkin shows that review incentives generally lead to more negative reviews and don't seem to impact financial metrics at all https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xuVtYMwXyaA (8/8)
