# Introduction... {% hint style="info" %} **Late-2024 update: This project is on hiatus/moved** *Note from David Reinstein:* The EA Market Testing team has not been active since about August 2023. Some aspects of this project have been subsumed by Giving What We Can and their Effective Giving Global Coordination and Incubation (lead: [Lucas Moore](http://www.effectivealtruismwestchester.org/lucas-moore.html)). *Nonetheless, you may find the resources and findings here useful. I'm happy to answer questions about this work.* I am now mainly focused on making [The Unjournal](https://globalimpact.gitbook.io/archived-the-unjournal-project/) a success. I hope to return to some aspects of the EAMT and effective giving research projects in the future. If you are interested in engaging with this, helping pursue the research and impact, or funding this agenda, please contact me at . {% endhint %} * Differentiating our work (previous research in psychology, economics) we write down what our basic consensus and knowledge * Existing theories, effective altruistic actions existing * What are the problems and questions we are dealing with? * What questions do we have what challenges are we facing? * What previous work has been done to investigate these questions? * What evidence is there so far on these questions? * What are the relevant theories of behavior for this work? --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
