What do you do with Data Science?
My prior research in data science is the application of experimental methods to estimate causal relationships in political science, primarily through field experiments. I have many applied papers and a textbook, Field Experiments, on these methods and applications. My current interests include continuing with this previous research but focusing more on the question of what determines when evidence affects decision making and public policy.
