DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:<p><strong>Fact-checking Politicians</strong>” with Andrea Mattozzi and Sam
 uel Nocito</p><p>Abstract:</p><p style="text-align: justify;">We study whet
 her and how Italian MPs respond to a rigorous fact-checking of their statem
 ents. Our research design relies on a novel randomized field experiment in 
 collaboration with the leading Italian fact-checking company. Our results s
 how that politicians are responsive to fact-checking. In particular, we obs
 erve a reduction in the probability of politicians making a false statement
  after being treated. Furthermore, we observe a reduction in the number of 
 verifiable (fact-checkable) statements by treated politicians, suggesting t
 hat fact-checking may also increase the ambiguity of politicians’ statement
