From June 23 to June 29, 2025, Freie Universität Berlin will be cutting out the letter e from its communication.
Why? Because the university itself is facing cuts: around 37 million euros this year alone. Additional cuts are also planned for 2026 and 2027. (1/3)

Extremely interesting special issue on reproducibility and replicability in @ei-sky.bsky.social, featuring my article with @lukasfink.bsky.social on replication code availability over time and across disciplines.
🚨 New Special Issue Alert! 🚨

This special issue of Economic Inquiry on reproducibility & replicability in economics is co-edited by Farasat Bokhari, Michalis Drouvelis and our chair, Abel Brodeur.

This is Part I, focusing on methodological advances and key challenges. 🧵👇

🎓 Do tuition fees help or harm?

👥 New study co-authored by @janmarcus.de and @marcbachmeier.bsky.social on a crucial question: How do tuition fees impact not just who enrolls, but who actually graduates?

Unequal Access: How Public Library Closures Affect Educational Performance
Local public institutions, such as public libraries, offer access to low-cost educational resources, potentially mitigating human capital investment disparities. However, from 2008 to 2019, 766 public...

New working paper! @i4replication.bsky.social does a good job detailing the experiment’s results, so for anyone who considers LLMs/AI as a (soon-to-be) solution to reproducibility in social science, let me walk you through the 🔥hell🔥 of trying to reproduce a paper on an "AI-led" team. 1/7
New research alert! Our study investigates the effectiveness of human-only, AI-assisted, and AI-led teams in assessing the reproducibility of quantitative social science research. We've got some surprising findings!

🧵 Excited to share: "Replication Code Availability over Time and Across Fields", was just accepted by #EconomicInquiry! 🚀 Here's what @lukasfink.bsky.social and I uncovered about replication code availability for publications based on the German Socio-Economic Panel #SOEP 📈📉

Replication code availability over time and across fields: Evidence from the German Socio‐Economic Panel
Providing replication code is an inexpensive way to facilitate reproducibility. However, little is known about the extent of replication code provision. Therefore, we examine the availability of repl....
