As the site’s name implies, we deal in stylized facts here. Stylized facts are qualitative statements summarizing scientific findings that have been verified by a vast number of studies. The term is particularly popular in Economics, but we use it to cover findings in all social sciences. Our objective is to present scientific insight that moves beyond single-study reporting, which is particularly vulnerable to faulty methodologies.
Within our pages, you will find short literature reviews describing the results of empirical, peer-reviewed scientific research on specific societal trends. These findings are usually the result of years of work by dozens of researchers, and we believe they can help us better understand realities that affect us all.
To start looking at our stylized facts, simply follow the Stylized Facts link on the menu bar and explore the findings our team has compiled.
