The do-gooder dilemma : to disclose or not to disclose
A research team in the Department of Psychology at Cornell University examined how moral actions influence individual emotions. The study challenges the assumption that performing a good deed primarily produces pride and satisfaction. The researchers found that individuals often anticipate feelings of embarrassment or discomfort when considering whether to share their good deeds. When moral actions become public, emotional responses grow more complex as people become aware of


Reframing the cost myth of rail
A research team in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Carnegie Mellon University challenges the belief that rail transit is inherently expensive. Instead of constructing new lines, the project reactivates 1.61 miles of underused “legacy rail” along Philadelphia’s Delaware River Waterfront, demonstrating that passenger rail can operate efficiently at a far lower cost. The researchers argue that high costs arise not from the rail itself, but from the assum


Macroeconomics in the age of AI
Researchers led by Professor C. at MIT’s Department of Economics examine whether high valuations of AI-related firms reflect a speculative bubble or genuine growth. Using a speculative-growth framework, they show how AI’s capacity to substitute for labor can sustain capital accumulation and create the possibility of both low- and high-growth equilibria. In the high-growth regime, elevated asset values reinforce optimistic expectations, supporting further investment and expans


How do people understand and evaluate economic policy?
At the Harvard University Social Economics Lab, Professor S. and her research team examine how individuals perceive and respond to economic policy. Rather than relying solely on traditional macroeconomic or econometric models, the Lab conducts large-scale surveys and controlled experiments to analyze people’s beliefs and attitudes. The research explores public views on health insurance, trade tariffs, and climate policy, demonstrating how different forms of information presen


A new approach to antibody therapy delivery
In 2025, researchers at the MIT developed a new method for delivering therapeutic antibodies more efficiently. Traditionally, antibody treatments for cancer and autoimmune diseases require lengthy intravenous infusions in hospitals, often lasting several hours. The MIT team reformulated antibodies into highly concentrated solid microparticles suspended in solution, enabling delivery with a standard syringe rather than the prolonged IV infusion. This approach significantly red
