That’s what I imagined. I hope you keep at it. To me this is such a fundamental aspect of science. We (researchers) think we are immune to all sorts of biases, but we are subject to path dependence and what others before us chose to explore and “found” to be true.

We need candidates for AEA directors and presidents to be talking about concrete things like this, not how many top articles, cites or awards they have.

Eva, cool study. I imagine you've had this in the works for quite a while. So congrats!

One point that I don't know if you can address here (or later) is to what extend people use previous published results as priors. i.e. does confidence and/or accuracy increase the more mature a literature is?

Is it more effective if the experts cited respond jointly? separately? Is it better to respond by chapter? Who is considered to have a more "legitimacy" in submitting comments? How are comments weighted in the review process? Is there evidence that the comments make a difference?

Yeah makes sense… you may also have holidays in Dec that could alter driving and traffic.

Thanks for sharing. Any ideas why December is lower than Jan and Feb which are colder months?
