I feel like Tyler Cowen is reasonably libertarian/right of centre. I don’t know if he would call himself an EA, but he has an account on the forum, under his full name. I feel like he’s pretty well know, at least in these circles..
I can see “Republican” becoming its own cluster in the last couple of decades, but what cleanly distinguishes small-c conservative from libertarian? Eg, I definitely would not call Cowen a Republican, but I get the sense he might be somewhat conservative in how he thinks about development, economics and institutions.
