Will just add to point about the decline in reporting null results: some evidence (in econ) that this problem is concentrated high-ranking journals (top-5s) and not elsewhere. Within sample of all registered RCTs on AEA site (2013-2016), we found reporting nulls in abstract. . .
While the (quasi-) experimental methods increase credibility of causal results, there are two related concerns that make studies hard to replicate:
1. decline in reporting of null results
2. increase in use of private sector data

Hi, #EconSky 📉📈 !
I am on the job market this year, so in the spirit of “hire me, please” energy, I’ll be sharing a short run-down of some of my work (since starting my post-doc in 2021).
I have broad interests, but I generally call myself an applied labor & public economist.
