      Remember the debate that legalized abortion decreased the crime rate back 2001 from @Freakonomics economist Steven Levitt and coauthor Jon Dononohue? Because of an error on one of their tables the hypothesis was dismissed but it turns out it's pretty well evidenced- thread🧵

      broke: structural models woke: credibility revolution bespoke: give up identification is generally impossible revel in your acknowledged ignorance and just tear down other people who think they know better with your familiarity with common pitfalls aka econometric socratism

          I don't think austrian economists are right that you should only reason from first principles I just also don't think researchers are good enough at their jobs to produce data that's better than reasoning from first principles most of the time.

          honestly researchers would produce more value collecting data and plotting it than running elaborately designed causal models on tiny messy datasets like this but thats HARD and you cant signal your big brain as easily that way so

          is stats really not just a bunch of made up crap i only took the introductory class and had one of those profs who was all "don't worry about the math just memorize the formula and plug the right stuff in" which still makes me kinda angery to think about
