AMA: Wednesday April 25th, 3-5 PMMichael Klein, u/MKleinEF, and the Econofact team will join us from 3-5 pm on Wednesday the 25th of April to engage with this community. Let's make this AMA awesome.What is EconoFact?EconoFact bridges the academic/policy divide by publishing short memos by economic professors on policy-relevant issues including international trade, immigration, social safety net policies, labor markets, tax policy, financial markets, and a wide range of other topics. We launched EconoFact in late January 2017 with 6 memos and 20 economists and today, after 14 months, we have published over 100 memos and have 70 economists in our network. You can see the EconoFact website here. The landing page presents a short version of memos, and you can see the full memo by clicking on the title or the “Read More” button. You can also search for memos by topics by clicking on the “Topics” button on the top of the landing page.We'd love to chat today about the goal of Econofact, pieces that we have done, the impact we have had, what the role of fact-checkers is in economics, policy, and politics, and love to hear your questions on topics you'd like us to address today or in the future, what misconceptions about economics we have encountered, what you think we should shoot for doing in 2018, and anything else related to facts regarding economics.Here are some linksFor an introduction to EconoFact, see this short (four minute) video with James Stavridis, Dean of the Fletcher School at Tufts University.Michael Klein had a longer discussion(about 24 minutes) about EconoFact in an interview for Harvard’s Kennedy School’s Policy Cast podcastYou can find us on:Twitter : @EconofactOrgFacebook : @EconofactAre you interested in helping out with EconoFact?
