Our new PNAS paper, “Perception of Own Centrality in Social Networks,” (w. Kovarik, Ozaita @anxosanchez.bsky.social) is now showcased on Kudos.
We show that people seriously misjudge their own popularity and centrality — and it matters.

This paper shows is that people have a very poor perception of their own popularity, and an even worse of their position in the network. And if people are not aware of where they stand, how can they anticipate the impact of their actions on the network? Think about contagion, gossip, and so on.

Fresh out of the oven! 🍞 With AM Espin, MP Espinosa & MJ Vazquez), we examine whether mentoring programs for vulnerable youth foster in-group bias. The results are surprising: the young person’s background and the program’s duration have a huge impact.

Evidence based policy, right?
El Gobierno catalán anuncia préstamos a jóvenes para pagar la entrada de su primera vivienda (incentivar la demanda). Cuando hicieron una política similar en Reino Unido (help-to-buy):
❌Aumentaron 8% precios.
❌No aumentó la oferta.
❌Los promotores se apropiaron de toda la ayuda.
