Devin G. Pope

Behavioral economist (Wharton at the time of the paper; later University of Chicago Booth) and co-author, with Jonah Berger, of "Can Losing Lead to Winning?" (working paper 2009; Management Science 57(5), 2011). He matters to this vault as the second half of the author pair behind the halftime-deficit finding, confirmed directly against the authors' own paper text on 2026-07-24 — the working-paper draft used contact address [email protected], naming him as a direct correspondent for the paper rather than a secondary retelling.
