Dan Ariely is a titan in the field of behavioral economics. His work has been published in numerous peer reviewed journals and routinely cited in academia and popular media. He has consulted for top companies and governments internationally. While still revered in the mainstream, academics are beginning to question the foundations of Ariely's work. Are his most influential findings robust, and more importantly, could they be fraudulent?

Corrections: The Israeli Ministry of Finance paid Ariely 17 million ILS (not USD). This amounts to 4.65 million USD.
While reading the emails at 10:25 and 10:51 I accidentally read Aimee's response before reading Dan's original question. Thanks to those who pointed out the mistakes.

Thank you for watching my first video.
