5/ With this in mind, write those parts of the paper for that specific audience in mind and do not assume that people will have the time/energy/interest to go deeper. This also implies that papers will feel somewhat repetitive. That is a normal feature of long paper, not a bad thing.

4/ I would say that most of the people seeing your work are in groups 1-2, read title and abstract.

3/ Why is this efficient for communicating? Because you can reach different audiences. Browsers read the title; Skimmers read the abstract; Interested folks read the intro; Your professional crowd reads the paper; Only the hard core reads the paper+appendix.

2/ This analogy highlights that the essential parts of a paper should be reflected at each level. In the image above you should recognize it's a cat by looking at the smallest doll. You don't need to look further to get the gist. If you want more, then you go to the next doll in size, etc.

Cool chapter. Have not looked very closely but have you considered including 1- aspects regarding spatial nature of unobservables/uncertainty and how to deal with it, and 2- considerations regarding publication outlets to target based on question/style of paper. Thanks for putting this together.

Around the same time reviewer went to grad school? It’s a time it’s easy to make disproportionate difference estimations between what came before and what lies ahead.

This may just be revealing when the referee went to grad school

In these divisive times I’m glad folks remain unaware of the deep chasm tearing apart academic economists 😂

By “academic offer” I mean “research offer”, RFF being a non partisan think tank. You get the point.

I don’t think I was their first choice given the timing of the offer… but it changed my trajectory. I often think of Molly Macauley (RIP) who ultimately took a chance on me.

Postdocs were rare 10 years ago, so it was difficult to get a bit “more runway”. And we only had Ph.D. funding for 4 years. Had to work part time the 5th year as a consultant at the world bank to support myself. I could not have pushed for another year to stay in academia as a foreign student.

I wish someone did that. Thx for the product.

Any plans to incorporate other experiments beyond SSPs? Eg say the “hist-nat” experiment w/o human forcing?

That’s the place

Me neither until one wrote to me looking for an RAship (!)
