Perhaps the future of data science coding will be a continuous conversation with coding agents who present us with a series of analytical and coding decisions. We decide, they implement. (And, if we take our work seriously, we then review their implementation.)

What happens to a woman's working life after a pregnancy loss? Up to one in five or six recognised pregnancies ends in a loss. We know a lot about how having a child changes women's careers, but we know very little about what happens when a pregnancy ends without one.

An extraordinary example of a paper that cannot logically address its estimand: effect of restricting under-18 playtime. But sample has no age data, and most of the sample is adults. Reviewer #3 even noted this, and authors agreed. See link in quoted for details.

You said: “It’s not clear from the text why the authors believe that the youth effect is
underestimated. If the youth population is about 6% of the sample, this means the first stage
effects of the policy change should affect the tails of the distribution. So any estimates of
effects on the full population which is primarily adults do not necessarily reflect what is
happening with the youth. Perhaps clarifying what is meant with “underestimated” is
sufficient, or perhaps the authors meant that the increases in adult utilization is
underestimated. As it stands, I think “underestimated” is incorrect because the youth effects
could be negative, positive, or neutral and we have no idea what the magnitude is.”
Our response: Your point is extremely well-taken: We have removed the offending text from the
manuscript (i.e. we have removed ‘Thus, the figures generated here will naturally underestimate
changes to the prevalence of heavy playtime amongst young people.’). This is in line with the more
general revision of language throughout the text to tend to be more conservative.

I have no dog in this fight, but it's not like there is no evidence for mobility. Two things: 1. Not all evidence is of course equally good, which is an important debate. 2. Even if mobility is significant, one can still justify wealth taxation, especially as a way of internalising the negative
