S1: Why replication? How is it done? Where to find replication material?

Webinar REPLICATE REPLICATE: HOW YOU CAN TAKE PART

SESSION 1 discusses the basics of replication addressing:

• Why is the topic of replication relevant to promoting a renewed approach to Economics and other social sciences
• What is Philosophy of Economics, and how does it relate to replication
• Which purposes can it serve to replicate in the narrow sense (i.e. rerunning original studies' data and code to check results)
• How are results produced
• How to update data or how to use new data or methods to check for robustness and/or generalizability
• How to identify studies suitable for replication
• How to share results
• How do replications help to question published findings, detect errors, contribute to scientific progress and incentivize discussion but also how do they face resistance from authors of original studies and editors
• Why is replication useful and relevant to teachers and researchers, and how does the Webinar facilitate the integration of replication in your syllabus or research
• How can students overcome being intimidated by replication, why is it that everyone can do it, and in which way does it prepare you to produce more reliable and robust results

This session includes a video-lecture available here and live Q&A. Use the discussion page to comment or ask questions in written form.
