#Econsky 📈📉:?What are your top recommendations for cool RCT papers with null effects? 📚 (I know there has been discussions about this before; I keep bookmarking and losing them. Maybe by starting this thread, I can easily locate them later). TIA!

I am not an organizer so I can say this credibly: This will be fun! #econsky
