Yeah, not a lot of original content lately; and given that it's the end of the year, readers should prepare for lots more listed-links-type of posts. Perhaps I'll get round to writing some original stuff over the holidays, but I doubt it. So, here's some noteworthy recent blog posts:
1. Steve Sailer vs. Elizabeth Sweet on economic development, sex roles, and presents. Funny and thought-provoking. From the same author: The Wertherpedia theory of mass shootings
3. When outcomes for the treatment group affect outcomes for the control group, results won't scale up. (Economic Logician/Pieter Gautier, Paul Muller, Bas van der Klaauw, Michael Rosholm and Michael Svarer)
4. Perform your own meta-analysis (soon, perhaps) (passed along by Tyler Cowen)
5. A partial model of U.S. politics, from Andrew Hammel
Happy holidays, everyone.

Thanks for the great link to controlled experiment example in which treatment affects the control group. I deal with this in detail in "Uncontrolled", and term this problem "holistic integration." As a huge advocate of RCTS, this is one example among many of situations in which they don't apply.
Best,
Jim Manzi
