Matt Clancy @mattsclancy.bsky.social · 11/06/2026Lastly, I think the most original illustration is for “Advance Market Commitments,” where we imagine building a town to provide a rationale for a train line to enter the region. 101
Matt Clancy @mattsclancy.bsky.social · 11/06/2026For “R&D Subsidies”, we wanted something that captured the way a subsidy is usually undirected, and supports R&D effort at lots of different kinds of orgs, like the wind pushing forward all boats. 100
Matt Clancy @mattsclancy.bsky.social · 11/06/2026Third, we have “Research Contracts,” - when you just tell a performer exactly what you want them to do. 100
Matt Clancy @mattsclancy.bsky.social · 11/06/2026For “Intramural science” (think national labs or my old employer, the USDA Economic Research Service) we’ve got scholarly work happening at a remove from the rest of society - in this case on a mountain top. 100

Matt Clancy @mattsclancy.bsky.social · 25/09/2025New research by Pierre Azoulay, Danielle Li, Bhaven Sampat and me. Earlier this year, the President’s budget proposed a 40% cut to the budget of the NIH. This motivated us to ask: what if the NIH had been 40% smaller? 22617
Matt Clancy @mattsclancy.bsky.social · 17/06/2025What’s the return on government support for R&D? To try to get a credible answer, Open Philanthropy and the Sloan Foundation are committing up to $1 million to trying something new: we call it a Pop-Up Journal. 15925

Matt Clancy @mattsclancy.bsky.social · 18/12/2024We can weight by the size of the 10-15yo population to objectively determine the best year in US history. Using 5-15yo’s as a proxy, the answer is 2019. 082
