#GDRI_rep Update 9: We have been waiting a couple of months to make two announcements. A few journals were in the process of retracting GDRI article. The editors informed the authors and then lawyers got involved. Who knows how long it will take.
New working paper! *Measuring long-run wealth inequality: Empirical results for Norway 1912-2019* (with Aaberge and Solbakken) We estimate wealth inequality in Norway based on a set of historical and contemporary sources. www.ssb.no/en/inntekt-o...
🚨 Our comment on Begum, Grossman & Islam (2018) in @readdemography.bsky.social is now available as an @i4replication.bsky.social working paper (w/ @carlbonander.bsky.social, @nikljako.bsky.social, Bensch & Brodeur). Read it here 👉 www.econstor.eu/bitstream/10...
#GDRI_rep Update 8a: Major updates coming up over the next few weeks.
1st update: We reproduced "Parent–teacher meetings and student outcomes" some time ago. The paper was then retracted by the editors of the Euro Econ Rev.
Additional studies are connected (see diagram)
🧵
Important paper from @anderskjelsrud.bsky.social and Sahar!
Female PhD students (in economics) benefit tremendously from having female faculty around.
When female professors go on leave, it decreases third-year female PhD students’ likelihood of publishing & securing academic positions.

Kult, Askill! Gratulerer.
Update: We submitted the comment to the Journal of Population Economics, and today we got a desk reject with this motivation. However, we do not know their conclusion about the main results and why the paper was not retracted. Clearly, they do not hold. 1/4
🚨 REPLICATION REPORT UPDATE: One year ago, a tweet by John Holbein alerted me, @ollefolke.bsky.social, and @jopieboy.bsky.social to a paper with a shocking result about Sweden’s law criminalizing the purchase of sex.🧵
🚨 New #EconHistory research alert!
Our paper “Strikes & Machines: Investment decisions in inter‑war Norway” conditionally accepted in Journal of Economic History ask
"What did strike threats really do to technology?"

#GDRI_rep Update 6: Some of the authors have responded to our report on "Raising Health Awareness in Rural Communities" @ The Review of Economics and Statistics. Authors received our report Feb 6. A short 🧵
This gem is hidden in the response to the response. ”…within a few hours and under extreme time pressure 11,843 households were visited and 22,686 respondents interviewed (two spouses in each household).” Indeed hard to believe 🫠
In a new @i4replication.bsky.social report we replicate Islam (2019). Main issue: the randomized controlled trial was not randomized. And many other things on top of that. See full report for details. (w/ @carlbonander.bsky.social, @nikljako.bsky.social, @flxhlzmstr.bsky.social, Bensch & Brodeur)
#GDRI_rep Update 4: We have a new report. We reproduced the paper entitled "Parent–teacher meetings and student outcomes" by Islam @ European Economic Review. See below for links to report and author's response.
#GDRI_rep Update 2: I4R sent a report to the original authors for the PLOS One article "“Food insecurity and mental health of women during COVID-19: Evidence from a developing country". All authors have now emailed PLOS One to withdraw their names. osf.io/7tzek/
#GDRI_rep Update 1: I4R are now reproducing all published papers that use data from GDRI, or are closely related in other ways. Here is a first update on our work. 🧵
Opprop! Vi er 47 samfunnsøkonomer som tar til orde for en kraftig økning av Norges støtte til Ukraina.

There is still time to submit one of your papers to NCDE!
2nd report reproduces “Raising Health Awareness in Rural Communities: A Randomized Experiment in Bangladesh and India'' by Siddique et al. Review of Economics and Statistics. Authors received our report Feb 6. See same statements from some of the authors and full report here: osf.io/c3k6f/
👏 Good news for researchers working with Swedish register data and who want their research to be reproducible 👉 If you include in your ethics application/research plan that replication may be part of the project, then external replicators (e.g. data editors) can be given access to the data!
Abel: I am writing in my capacity as Chair of I4R. Last year, I was contacted by a researcher that alerted me of potential scientific misconduct in a set of papers all using data from a specific NGO.🧵

How does it all matter?
Our findings underscore the importance of same-gender mentorship in male-dominated fields like Econ. A counterfactual exercise suggests that hiring one extra female prof at each of the top-50 schools would close 1/3 of the gender gap among ass profs at the top-25 schools.
