👇 👏 important insights on how much (or little) policies are based research.
(I would be curious if this also applies to other fields/setting)

A very interesting new working paper by the greats Ashesh Rambachan, Rahul Singh, and @vivianodavide.bsky.social: arxiv.org/pdf/2411.10959

It seems that this is another area where the empirical common practice was "too fast,'' and econometrics is catching up!

Cool and empirically relevant stuff!
