Replications
- SCORE secondary data replication of Barsbai et al. (2017), Loomas et al. (2025). Outcome recorded: failed.
"Prevalence of emigration to the West coefficient is -0.467632 but not statistically significant at p = 0.1904506. This claim was not replicated."
Outcome read from OSF report.
Reproductions
- Reproduction (with author data & code): Barsbai et al. (2017, American Economic Journal: Applied Economics), Parsons et al. (2021). OSF. Outcome recorded: computationally reproducible, robustness not checked.
Computational: "Based on these criteria, the claim did reproduce." (stated for both completed claims, l8d8wj and 6rvr3z); the other 16 of 18 total claims from the paper could not be assessed due to missing/proprietary census variables and are excluded from the n_claims count (n_claims=2, matching "Completed claim(s): l8d8wj, 6rvr3z")
