Replication, Meta-Analysis, and Research Synthesis in Economics
强调复制对保证经济学实证研究科学诚信的重要性,并谨慎探讨元分析作为补充工具的作用,指出多数经济学实证研究非随机且应可完全复现。
Replicability is essential to assure the scientific integrity of empirical economic research. Some authors have suggested metadata analysis as a complementary tool. This suggestion must be addressed with caution. Empirical studies in most of economics are nonstochastic in the sense that they seldom are created via experiments and, with the data and computer software in-hand, should be reproducible without error.
