- WED 12/6: Eileen Chou (UVA) will give a joint BRITE Lab and La Follette academic seminar on Wed., 12/6 from 12:30-1:30 in 1199 Nancy Nicholas Hall. Eileen is Associate Professor of Public Policy at the University of Virginia, Frank Batten School of Leadership and Public Policy. She will also give a public talk on Thurs., 12/7 at the Madison Public Library as part of the BIG Lecture Series. See more detailed info on both talks below. Interested in meeting with Eileen during her visit? Email Justin ASAP!
- We are considering whether or not to bring in someone to do a tutorial session on oTree. We are also generally interested in hearing from the BRITE community about whether they are interested in having group discussions about different platforms for conducting experiments, whether this is oTree or others. Please be in touch with Justin and/or Kathryn if so.
- Hourly position available ASAP, to help with coding for an upcoming lab experiment. Dereck Barr-Pulliam, Assistant Professor in Accounting & Information Systems, is looking for someone to code in z-tree (or in an alternative program-- o-tree, etc) an updated version of a prior experiment. Earlier experiment was previously coded in z-tree (so there are existing files you could use as a starting point). Please email Dereck for more details.
- REMINDER - Winter deadline 1/12/18 : 2017-2018 BRITE Lab Grant Program. NEW this year, we will consider grant proposals for experimental projects that are not necessarily conducted in the physical BRITE Lab space.

We will use this space each week in the news blast for Justin to share new ideas he thinks may be of interest for our behavioral & experimental community. If you ever have ideas for topics, please share your ideas with
Justin
.
This Week's BRITE Idea:
This week we want to highlight
a new journal
launched by the American Economic Review called
American Economic Review: Insights
.
This is a brand new journal soliciting for shorter papers, but still of the quality at the
AER.
The length requirement is under 6,000 words, which is about 15 pages or about 1/3rd the length of typical
AER
papers.
Justin's hunch is that the two types of things that will be published a lot here are experimental results and theory. So for those of you doing nice experiments with important insights that can be conveyed succinctly, consider submitting to this new journal. The editor is
Amy Finkelstein
, who of course is amazing. Best of all, perhaps, is that they are guaranteeing quick turn around and an initial reject or "conditional accept" decision rather than a huge round of revisions.
