stephenlross.bsky.social @stephenlross.bsky.social · 12/01/2025I am a huge fan of the working paper culture. As you said, all work must be read carefully and evaluated for how convincing the claims are. So, why ignore a massive amount of information that is available in working papers that have been released. 010

stephenlross.bsky.social @stephenlross.bsky.social · 29/11/2024AEA at submission asks about pre-analysis plan if submitting an RCT based paper.
