(Perhaps some older Slate Star Codex posts? I can’t remember for sure.)
Notes
I intend to add to this list over time. If you know of other relevant work, please mention it in a comment.
Also, I’m aware that there has also been a vast amount of non-EA analysis of this topic. The reasons I’m collecting only analyses by EAs/EA-adjacent people here are that:
their precise focuses or methodologies may be more relevant to other EAs than would be the case with non-EA analyses
links to non-EA work can be found in most of the things I list here
I’d guess that many collections of non-EA analyses of these topics already exist (e.g., in reference lists)
