The effect size of an intervention (deworming) on a measured outcome (test scores) is, almost by definition, its efficiency. And that's within economic's wheelhouse if you're studying paper clip manufacturing or schools.
But, ultimately, I think the researchers would probably answer with something closer to "I don't care if it's economics. I consider it both interesting and relevant", and so would the Nobel judges.
- Gatsky 7y agoYeah, it doesn’t matter in the end, we have learned something important. But there is some context to all this - (macro)economics has had a huge influence on the world through monetary policy. This influence is waning due to financial crises and the apparent failure of neoliberalism among other things.
