A thread by our member Sarah.frohnweiler on her recently accepted #JDE paper. Does an information treatment about regional income differentials matter for migration decisions of Ugandans & Ghanaians? Results show that migration intentions change but actual migration does not.

Join the replication games organized by I4R in Innsbruck. Very much looking forward to it!

📢 Summer Seminar Series starting soon! Mark your calendars: First seminar is April 22, 1pm CET. Our lineup includes Dominic Rohner, Jaime Millán-Quijano, Seema Jayachandran, Kathleen Beegle, Esther Gehrke, Aletheia Donald, and Manuel Santos Silva. We're excited for many great talks!

This will be a great seminar for everyone interested in meta-science and replications!

This is a great event for PhD students to present their work. This year, participants get up to 100€ for travel expenses. Apply!

Glad to see this paper out in the RWI Leibniz Institute DP series. A much needed nomenclature for different types of replications & reproductions, plus indicators to compare replicability across replications. Crucial for meta-replications.

1/ Totally agree with this.
I think there is a strange prejudice in economics that studying sports, movies, game shows etc is not “serious”

The truth is that as Ignacio explains, they often provide unusual control and diagnosticity.

Next Monday, December 18 at 1pm CEST, we welcome Benjamin Marx (@bu_economics) in our #seminarseries . His talk is titled “Religion, Education, and the State“. Contact us for the Zoom link.

This is actually pretty cool. Next step: Zotero (and others) notifies you when a (successful or failed) replication of a paper gets published.
