We are excited to join Bluesky! J-PAL North America is a regional office of the Abdul Latif Jameel Poverty Action Lab, based at MIT, seeking to reduce poverty by ensuring policy is informed by scientific evidence. www.povertyactionlab.org/na

Our next Chicago School in Experimental Economics summer programs are coming! One will take place at the University of Bonn on September 7-11, and the other will take place at the University of Chicago on September 13-17. For more details please see here: voices.uchicago.edu/jlist/the-ch...

Hope this ongoing work can contribute to the discussion on the demand and supply side of how Econ research can (and can't!) influence policymaking #Econsky @bencasselman.bsky.social

How policymakers and the US population update their beliefs on the use of science and the trust they have in government following a field experiment that demonstrated the ineffectiveness of a policy intervention, from Guglielmo Briscese and John A. List https://www.nber.org/papers/w33239

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

How do we overcome political hurdles to learning from experimentation #EconTwitter? The practice below from the private sector seems promising: pre-plan a positive course of action for each possible experimental result 👇

Why do people distrust government agencies, even when they provide vital info (e.g., health, environment)? Can low-cost interventions restore trust & promote welfare-enhancing behaviors? Our study provides novel experimental evidence on these key questions (1/5) 👇 #EconSky

Happy to participate to this very timely session at #ASSA2025 on political polarisation and trust #econsky

ChatGPT 4o didn't know how to solve this puzzle. Can you? #EconSky

Excited for #ASSA2025! Don’t miss our panel on the growing experimental work at the intersection of political economy and behavioral economics: www.aeaweb.org/conference/2... #econsky

#EconSky where can I find publicly available longitudinal survey data on US firms? Any sample or industry is fine.

Our political economy of field experiments study has just been released by the @nberpubs.bsky.social! Written with @gubri.bsky.social, who is brilliant and on the market this year!

The academic job market can be very stressful. If you're struggling to cope or just need someone to talk to or vent your frustrations, feel free to reach out - shared pain is half the pain. You're not alone in this. #EconJMP #EconSky

Just confirming: it is not ok (or cool) in our profession to ignore papers that relate clearly to ours, even if they are working papers. There is some weird trend going on lately…

A lot of talent is wasted in a world where more than half of laureates come from households in the richest 5%

Happy to see that John List has finally joined #EconSky! :) (Honored that our paper is his very first post) 🙏

#eeac Day 4: @gubri.bsky.social JMP "Targeting Behavioral Change Interventions: An Experiment on Debiasing Savings for College" demonstrates the importance of theory-driven identification of behavioral barriers and subsequent personalized interventions targeting specific barriers. #econsky #econjmp

Do citizens trust their governments more if they are committed to evidence-based policymaking? What happens when evaluation results disappoint? In this new WP, we explore how policymakers & the public react to unexpected evidence: drive.google.com/file/d/13SmS... Comments welcome! #EconSky

Wife: "What's that app with a blue butterfly?!" Me: "Oh, it's like a new Twitter, that's what all the economists are using right now. Basically..." Wife: *Rolls eyes and walks away* 🤣

Dear Recruiters on the #EconJobMarket: if you are using Interfolio and a profile of an applicant has some missing documents -this might be due to a recent glitch in the Interfolio system -so please double-check with Interfolio and the applicant before excluding someone bec of missing files. #EconSky

Looking forward to presenting my JMP at #SJDM conference on Saturday. Come say hi!

Looking forward to presenting at #2024APPAM this Friday afternoon! I'd love to meet other researchers interested in policy experimentation, college savings, or trust in government.
