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
