It's Friday night, Halloween! Who's with me for a thread about the economics of pronatalism?! Some people say we need more babies because we don't have enough workers. But more births means less women workers, by ~15-40%. You trade workers today for workers tomorrow. This is from CPS data: /1

This is so important. And especially in non experimental studies where bias - not variance - is the first order concern.

The larger the dataset, the larger the false sense of confidence - if bias is baked in, size just makes a flawed measurement more convincing. Xiao-Li Meng has called it the big data paradox: 'The bigger the data, the surer we fool ourselves.' In other words, scale isn’t a substitute for scrutiny.
