Great piece @bencasselman.bsky.social! I think another issue is irrelevance. Journal gatekeeping has made econ insular, pushing young economists toward 'what Editor X likes' instead of bold, innovative work policymakers value—leaving institutional Econ advisors with a limited set of ideas #EconSky

Economists are in the wilderness. Politicians and the public have rejected their advice on everything from trade to climate change. They held comparatively little sway under Biden, and stand to hold less under Trump. Can they find their way back to influence?
