Thank you for presenting!
Open source models invite collaboration and are more transparent. They may also be better in their openness to scrutiny. Given today's polarization in US politics, what has been the response in policy-discussion circles to open-source models and your use of OG-USA? To what extent do you sense that this transparency has fostered meaningful dialogue about economic modeling and prediction across the political spectrum? And to what extent do you see actors in the policy circles perhaps exploit the openness of such modeling for politically-motivated scrutiny?
