Fascinating paper by @grattonecon.bsky.social, @bartonelee2.bsky.social, and Hasin Yousaf!
The paper addresses a fundamental question: Why do some democracies chronically avoid ambitious, long-term reforms even when they have decent institutions?
They argue that what matters is not only

Public debate surrounding 57 mass shooting events 2016-2022 become systematically more partisan and polarized after politicians join the conversation. Analysis of 4.75M tweets reveals that unlike other social media celebrities, interventions by politicians are uniquely partisan and issue polarizing!

Nice framework. And the normative complement would be that it is OK for majorities in power to delegate to technocratic bodies when they fear their future selves (the usual time inconsistency argument), but not OK when they want to lock in policy because the opposition might rule in the future.
Interested in a take that situates the Cook saga -- and concerns about the erosion of Fed independence -- in a broader theoretical framework? Then, check out the updated version of this working paper by @grattonecon.bsky.social and myself. gratton.org/papers/Techn...
