> Not to mention RCT, causal inference, GIS, and machine learning applications
RCT's were developed by psychologists (for educational purposes) and promoted by medical statisticians.
Causal inference was essentially invented by a computer scientist.
You can definitely thank geographers for GIS, and ML is basically a rebranding of statistics by Comp Sci researchers.
Game theory I'll definitely concede to economics, but political science is it's own discipline, and shouldn't be regarded as part of economics.
