From this exact blurb:

> We estimate an implied leakage ...

So the estimation became almost a fact in the title? What's the equivalent of clickbait in papers?

The rest of that sentence:

> ... of 2 to 6 cents per aid dollar, which amounts to roughly 1.7 to 4.4 billion dollars of aid diversion across the tranche arrivals we study.

This submission is not following HN news for submission titles.

This isn't a clickbait in the paper, but by the submitter.

Why does literally every single item on Hackernews have some replyguy screaming about clickbait? Is there therapy for that? Do you understand how headlines work? What part of 2 to 6 looks like "not an estimation"?
