I am actually sad to have to say this since I have admired much about Disney CEO Bob Iger over the years, but what a profoundly quisling move this is by someone who knows better. It’s shameful and he has tarnished his once proud reputation.

On the other hand, universities save the subscription fee for the journal. But I guess that any university that publishes just one article per year will pay more than before. Or am I overlooking something?

So our society journal "Experimental Economics" will now be open access. But authors or, as in my case, their universities will have to pay Article Processing Charges of about $3500 for each article published. Is that a good deal for us?

Springer-Nature launched a series of "Discover" journals that closely mimic MDPI titles -- sharing *identical* journal names, and likely similar business model.

What is going on, and why researcher will - as always - fall for it?

Feel like there could be some illuminating interdisciplinary work bringing together international trade economists with studies of borderline personality disorder/attention seeking traits to come up with new predictive theories about global trade.

As grant money starts drying up, it's more important than ever not to waste it on paying publishers' open access "article processing fees" when we can host PDFs for free. Tom Morgan and I wrote a paper on this, forthcoming at Science and Public Policy. Accepted draft here: osf.io/preprints/os...

My main problem with reading aloud is that subjects read faster on their own than the experimenter reads aloud. And then reading aloud is just a distraction.

30 years after arriving in the US, I just resigned from Northwestern and we sold our house.

We are an American family, I became a citizen in 2014, and until recently did not expect to ever leave. But now, this no longer feels like the right place to raise a family and pursue a research career.
