[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In academia we strongly look down on think tank research. If you can't trust the methods, you can't trust the conclusions - so what good is it?[/quote] The non-economists that I work with absolutely hate academic economic research, because they can't understand the methods, and therefore don't trust the conclusions. It doesn't help that academic economists think that there's no point in trying to explain their research in non-jargon terms, and generally condescend to non-academics.[/quote]
