Is Banerjee's approach criticized for being too narrow?
Some critics suggest our focus on micro-level experiments might overlook larger structural issues. While RCTs are powerful for testing specific interventions, they are not designed to answer every question. It's crucial to acknowledge their limitations and complement micro-level evidence with broader analysis to understand systemic factors. Our work in 'Good Economics for Hard Times' addresses some of these larger economic forces.
