      i think not all of it is obvious ex ante + purely marginal - e.g. gautam rao's development/behavioral work is good at showing things like benefits to school programs/credit cards in developing countries hard to generalize but valuable by way of building consensus abt programs

      my levitt take is yeah he's obnoxious and it's annoying that he made a bunch of money without really contributing anything but maybe it got more people interested in economics and curious about incentives, which is probably on-balance good

      glaeser once said something to the effect of "game theory is so mathematically clean that it attracts far too many economics, on balance, than should be studying game theory" i think this is certainly true about behavioral but think the hype by now has died down sufficiently

      yeah that's also true of game theory dead end econ should actually be doing scaled data work but instead everyone is wasting time p-hacking with more steps hate it
