EA Talks EAG 2019 SF: Forecasting research results (Eva Vivalt)

Eva Vivalt, a researcher at the Australian National University, is building a platform to collect these predictions. In this talk, she discusses what social science stands to gain through the use of forecasting, from better research design to improvements in public policy.
