What are your favorite papers that make descriptive claims (as opposed to causal claims)?
I'm thinking of papers in the spirit of Gerring's "Mere Description."

I put a couple of examples below. What else do you like?

For all your 2025 teaching, writing, and article reviewing needs
Grad methods should teach:
-Gelman & Stern 2006 (below)
-Heinmueller et al. on interactions
-Data Colada on power
-Gelman on interaction power
-Jacob/me on post-treatment bias
-Franco et al. on dropping conditions/outcomes (still common in "preregistered" work)
So many of my reviews are about these
