I am a long-time lurker; I started following EY in Overcoming Bias and then here, where I visit on and off. I have been a business school professor for about 15 years. I use a pseudonym to keep my online professional profile distinct from my non-professional online activity.
I notice that business topics are not often discussed in LW, or at least not in the same detail and precision as other topics. It is certainly not a focal theme of the blog, but I was wondering if there would be interest to discuss business topics without the “fluff” that one inevitably finds in airport books and business school discussions.
For instance, there is a strong link between decision-making and the foundations of marketing. There are also interesting connections between branding and categorization and linguistics. If you guys think this could be a contribution to the blog, I would be more than happy to give it a go.
There’s definitely an interest. Like many subjects, the limiting factor is people who are good writers, good at business (or at least knowledgeable about it) and have the slack to post. Pseudonyms are fine.

That is my theory too; see “Why So Few Matt Levines?”
