Collection of EA-Associated historical case study research

Abstract

This collection aims to gather examples of historical case study research conducted or commissioned by people in or associated with the effective altruism (EA) community. The collection is intended to help people learn about, research, and draw insights from history. It includes work done by EA-affiliated researchers and organizations, such as the Sentience Institute, Open Philanthropy, and Luke Muehlhauser, as well as historical case studies by individuals like Grace (2015). The collection excludes work already on the EA Forum, other types of history research such as quantitative macrohistory, and historical case studies that are not associated with EA. The collection aims to encourage the use of historical case studies to draw insights for specific topics or questions of interest to EAs. – AI-generated abstract.
