My results imply that...
- Advisors may not consider how Choosers will respond to their recommendations
- Prompting them to do so may improve their ability to steer Choosers towards better decisions

Thanks! Feedback is welcome!🙂 [7/7]
Thanks so much for sharing this profile of my work, @econuoft.bsky.social! It was a pleasure chatting about my research, teaching and involvement in the academic community.
In my Beliefs Experiment, I prompt Advisors to guess the Chooser’s strategy before sending their recommendations. I find that Advisors become much more likely to send optimal recommendations. [6/7]
In my Main Experiment, I find:
- Despite learning that Choosers consistently reject a recommendation to switch to sprinkler 3, most Advisors send sub-optimal recommendations
- Many Advisors always recommend the sprinkler above the plant pot [5/7]
