Why Is There So Much Fraud in Academia? (Update)

At the time, Lisa Hsu is a doctoral student on the job market, and she's presenting this work. And how concerned were you about damaging her prospects? I was very concerned that if I dropped off the paper, that there's something suspicious about Lisa's job. So I keep on asking questions, but I don't withdraw.

And by early 2012, I'm attending a conference, and I arrive at the conference, and in the big hallway, I run into Lisa, who's my advisee, my friend, my co-author, somebody who I like a lot. And she's with Nina Mazar, who I had never met before. So Lisa introduces us, and I believe I was expressing my unhappiness with the lack of clarity on this mileage issue.

Okay, so when we asked... Ariely to join forces, he said, fine, but Nina would be part of the project as well. So I always thought she was part of the insurance study. Later on in life, Nina claimed she had no more connection to the insurance study than I did, that she first connected to it when this five-authored paper comes together.

Yeah, exactly. So she basically pleasantly and openly pulled up the database on her computer, And I said, so what's going on? And she said, I think what's going on is that we don't know that the period between time one and time two for assessing the number of miles driven was one year. We know when time two was collected, but it may have been more than one year for when time one was collected.

And in my mind, what becomes clear is that that makes our study noisier. But as long as a real experiment was run, this is actually pretty good news. All we need to do is correct the presentation in the paper, which we did. The paper is submitted. It's published. I develop a belief that this effect is true. And people love this result.

And from a theoretical standpoint, it's a shockingly simple idea. From a practical standpoint, it's just perfect. It's so simple that organizations can easily implement it. And who did implement it? A lot of people implemented it. You know, I think Lemonade Insurance, under Ariely's advice, implemented it.
