New replication project for Swedish registration data – Economistas

In recent years, the debate over the reliability of social science findings has intensified (see previous posts here, here, here, and here), encouraging more researchers to conduct replication and reproducibility studies. A new one Meta study For example, they reprinted (tested the same hypotheses on the same data as in the original studies) and/or replicated (tested the same hypotheses on different data) 110 articles published in leading economics and political science journals. However, until now, unopened data have been excluded from these replications.

Together with a group of national economic researchers led by oli hammer We are now inviting PhD students as well as more senior researchers and professors in Sweden to participate in a new project where we will reproduce and replicate recently published research articles that use Swedish registry data, if possible. Reproducing and replicating studies using registry data is completely new. The aim is not to refute any particular study or review of a particular research group, but to systematically study the different forms of replication and replication when it comes to national economic research on registry data. The aim is to reproduce and replicate all studies using Swedish registry data that have been published in 2022 or later in a national economic journal. Top 5– Magazines as well. AER: Visions, American economic journals and Economic Magazine.

On September 26th we organize Copy games At Linnaeus University in Vaxjo together Cloning InstituteDuring replication games, researchers in small groups reproduce or duplicate a recently published research article (read more about the initiative). here). For the new registry data project, the idea is that researchers interested in participating will plan the transcription/replication during this day and then access to the registry data will be provided at a later stage. The results will be compiled into a research article where everyone who worked on the project will be a co-author.

Researchers interested in participating can register for the Växjö Replication Games at This linkIt is possible to participate on site or via Zoom and other types of studies can also be reproduced/replicated.
