Jan R. Magnus

Econometrician at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, first author of magnus-peresetsky-2022. Discovered while ingesting that paper.

An econometrician rather than a psychologist, which is the point worth recording about him here: the strongest live challenge to dunning-kruger-effect in this wiki is a censored-regression argument brought from outside the field the finding belongs to. The paper’s complaint about the psychology literature is methodological in exactly that way — that authors invoke regression to the mean as a known fact when the mechanism behind it needs stating case by case.
