Introduction to Thicket
Who is Thicket for?

Thicket makes it easy to find ideas, arguments, and counterarguments for papers you are writing, and then to see how they fit into the supporting literature. It can also help you build and organize your own arguments.
Researchers
By linking your work to relevant arguments and ideas, Thicket can help get your work recognized and cited by other researchers. It is also a great way to browse existing literatures, whether or not you are an expert in a given topic.
Journalists and Policymakers
Thicket can help you quickly find the academic consensus about an issue, or different angles on a topic that you may not have considered.
Everyone Else
Thicket is a great place for anyone curious about economics, politics, and public policy and who is looking for earnest, respectful, and informed debate.
