How would you convince policy makers to use the model and how well the model can perform in China? #25

Fabulous work! Thanks for sharing.

As an economics outsider, I am wondering how should this excellent model be used in the real world? For example, the White House staff shuffle every four years, each president/party will have their own economic 'belief' and different stand on tax reform. And since the Cabinet shuffles, they may prefer policies with short-term effects. How would you convince policy makers with distinct schools of economics to apply your OG model which has many underlying assumptions and has more of a Long-term effect?

Also, if I am getting this right, the model is only tested in closed or small open economy, how well it will perform in a large open economy such as the US? And how well can it perform in some special yet important economies such as China?

Thanks.
