Kiwis: ever stood in a supermarket aisle trying to work out whether the bigger pack is actually cheaper? Sometimes it’s not. When the larger package is more expensive per unit than the smaller one, it’s called a quantity surcharge. Madhura Banerjee and I looked for these in NZ supermarkets. 🧵

1/ Can AI help researchers check whether published social science results actually reproduce? In our new PNAS paper, we tested this directly in the AI Replication Games: 288 researchers, 103 teams, and real replication packages from quantitative social science.

New working paper with Amol Singh Raswan and Chris Udry: "The Sisyphean Pursuit of Evidence for Poverty Traps." A central idea in development economics is that poverty can trap people. We went looking for the cleanest evidence. Here's what we found – and didn't.

Psychology has a whole cottage industry in which people come up with some construct that is essentially "attitudes/beliefs/expectations/feelings about X", and then the central claim is that this construct is a super important determinant of future X outcomes.>

I used to think that people use the “weasel word causal inference strategy” (“our analyses show that X is an important predictor of…” followed by conclusions that are clearly causal) for the sake of plausible deniability. But I’m revising that now, because often deniability *isn’t* plausible.>
