Awesome. I’d love to hang with you if I’m there next year; you don’t have any connections to BIAC do you? I just applied for a postbac fellowship there..
I could try to say that my work focuses only on understand how growth and development take place for example but this in practice this it doesn’t work that way.
A conversation with students, policy makers, even fellow economists will not go more than 5 − 10 mins without taking a normative tact. Virtually everyone is in favor of more growth and so the question is invariably, “what should we DO to achieve it”

What’s your specialty in econ?
I don’t have any connection to BIAC.
My specialty is human capital (education) and economic growth and development

Does the term ‘normative’ work in that context?
Yes,
