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

Do citizens trust government more if they are committed to evidence-based policymaking? What happens when evaluation results disappoint? In this WP, John A. List and I explore how policymakers & the public react to unexpected evidence: drive.google.com/file/d/13SmS4r… #EconTwitter

**New Paper Alert** Field Experiments have matured from academic curiosity to bona fide contributor to policymaking and scientific knowledge in the past few decades. Yet, the political economy of their deployment in government remains ill-understood. We provide insights on both

Super solid JMP by Guglielmo Briscese (and John List), which showcases incredible skills (Policy relevant questions , technical skills, great writting, serious discussion…). Guglielmo Briscese is Just a great catch!

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. #econtwitter

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 @Briscese and @econ_4_everyone nber.org/papers/w33239

Our NBER study on the political economy of using field experiments in policymaking has just been released. Written with brilliant coauthor Guglielmo Briscese, who is on the market this year!

Our NBER paper is out! Comments welcome (NBER that's not my handle btw :) )

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

"To enhance the employment potential of AI and minimize its negative effects on workers, broad-based access to high-quality education, together with training programs and active labor-market policies, will be crucial." Couldn't agree more!

Australia has a long history of using evidence-based policy and producing independent policy research. Indeed, policy debates in the US have sometimes even relied on research from Australia's Productivity Commission, because it was perceived as independent and rigorous!

In the last session of the day we have Guglielmo Briscese presenting "Toward an Understanding of the Political Economy of Using Field Experiments in Policymaking". They explore an experiment with policy makers to elicit demand for participation in evidence based policy making. This is

**NEW PAPER ALERT** When you have kids or believe that higher education is a critical tool for economic security and social mobility, college affordability is usually top of mind. Indeed, with higher education costs consistently outpacing inflation and public funding declining,
