New blog post on VoxDev, with @PaulFNiehaus and Kaspar Wuthrich where we discuss the practice of multiple testing.

We draw from the economic model we developed in this paper https://t.co/uWBquf5RTr and calibrate the model using the universe of experiments sponsored by JPAL.

[Econometrica @ecmaEditors]

When treatment locations are as-good-as-random, how do we estimate causal effects on nearby observations? Use counterfactual locations, known ex-ante or predicted via neural nets, and quantify uncertainty based on the quasi-experimental design.

@deaneckles I think the fundamental question here is whether it is the role of researchers to report the likelihood or the posterior. Is their role to summarize data or to report the bottom line?
