Join us for the LOVE REPLICATIONS WEEK from March 2 - 6 with talks on reproductions, replications, how to find them, how to conduct them, how to have them conducted on your study, where to publish them, and much more!

2. Local linear/quadratic fits can also yield excessive false positive findings, even with best practices, and it can worsen as N grows. The author suggests that researchers should routinely investigate false positive rates in their studies. #econsky

1. Global high-order polynomials can assign extreme weights in sparse regions—but because few observations receive them, the impact on the treatment estimate is often small.

The comment revisits Gelman & Imbens (2019) on polynomial regression discontinuity. The author shows two common critiques depend on context and interpretation.

Reanalysing the data from Ayres et al. (2023), the author shows key results rely on biased controls; once fixed, effects are smaller and often insignificant. The Linguistic Savings Hypothesis survives—but more modestly.

Languages encode the future differently (strong vs. weak future time reference). Three recent works claimed this difference affects patience and firm behaviour.

Replicating and extending Kilian (2009), the authors show again that “not all oil price shocks are alike”. Using new data, R-based tools and robust inference, they study how global oil supply vs demand shocks hit a local economy in the transition away from fossil fuels.

The comment shows that the empirical part of Balutel et al.’s (2022) article suffers from an internal
validity problem. Specifically, the network size variable is problematic. Hence, Balutel et al. fail to
provide reliable evidence that network effects impact Bitcoin adoption.

Rogowski et al. (2022) show that historical postal networks boosted economic development across countries and within the US.
The replication study reproduced all results — the findings are broadly robust, though somewhat sensitive to spatial trends. #Replication #Economics #OpenScience

How to decide what to replicate or reproduce? We recommend priotizing studies with "high value" or unclear results, considering practical limits, watching for bias, and always communicate choices openly.

The results remain robust when (i) extending the
sample period from 1994-2014 to 1994-2019 and (ii) using metropolitan statistical area (MSA) level
unemployment variation instead of state-level variation.

The authors replicate Forsythe (2022), which examines how labor market transitions vary by experience over the business cycle. Using CPS data from IPUMS and new code, they confirm that hiring probability of youths is more sensitive to business-cycle conditions than for experienced individuals.
