- photonthug 3y agoI don't think you need to look far to find bad papers, but for good ones doing "real science", I would maybe look for psych stuff that's next door to economics? Kahneman comes to mind
- comfypotato 3y agoAs someone else said, Kahneman is OK. He certainly has some brain-tickling research. I’ve read some papers by him about how people use poor logic in decision-making that were truly fascinating. There are countless bad papers. If you lean left, I could show you papers that declare no racial bias in police use of lethal force. If you lean right, I could show you papers that declare no correlation between conservative policy and economic growth.
