We ran a five arm RCT. Alyssa very thoughtfully designed the four treatments, horseracing positive, negative, and neutral narrative information on an issue against a broader treatment of factual quant information 2/4

You’re right though, we don’t emphasise this in the paper, but testing for different effects of the experiment based on these characteristics it’s reported, eg here

Excited to share our new paper out today, with Alyssa Leng (her master’s thesis!) and Terence Wood: “Narratives, information and immigration policy preferences”. I’m a bit biased, but I think it’s both interesting and pretty damn important devpolicy.org/publications...

We're very grateful to the Minister for Immigration for his kind words about our work on the Pacific and migration at the Development Policy Centre. I couldn't be more proud to lead the ANU's Pacific migration research, we have a great (but small) team. minister.homeaffairs.gov.au/AndrewGiles/...

Put together a simple economic defense of a robust, growing immigration program with Steve for the papers Australia doesn’t need to keep thinking, being small www.smh.com.au/business/the-economy…
