What Is Meant by “Replication” and Why Does It Encounter Resistance in Economics?
讨论了经济学中复制研究的使用趋势,包括复制率的发现,并分析了复制面临的障碍,指出经济学在复制倡议上落后于心理学和政治学。
This paper discusses recent trends in the use of replications in economics. We include the results of recent replication studies that have attempted to identify replication rates within the discipline. These studies generally find that replication rates are relatively low. We then consider obstacles to undertaking replication studies and highlight replication initiatives in psychology and political science, behind which economics appears to lag.
