Idk if these lit review-esque posts do the numbers, but they’re one of my favorite things you do, Noah.

The main reason I pay for this substack is that I have neither the time nor the familiarity with the policy research landscape (despite being a policy and law grad student!) to find all this stuff myself. And I find this form of presenting it much superior to, say, an economist article that quotes all of these authors but doesn’t actually link to their work; this is much more transparent.

And it’s incredibly useful resource for when I decide I want to cite something on the NEPA later on! I’ve gone back and pulled sources from your lit review on immigration and employment multiple times now.

You have got to give it to Noah: he certainly does his research and is able to distill vast material into the essentials.

Some good examples of unintended consequences of well-intentioned but broadly framed public actions.

The Manchin example in particular raises interesting and significant political tactical and strategic implications.
