Scholars assert that pre-analysis plans (PAPs) generate boring, lab-report style papers and thus hamper publication. We test this claim by comparing the publication rates of experimental NBER working papers with and without PAPs. We find that …
Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) are increasingly prominent in economics, with pre-registration and pre-analysis plans (PAPs) promoted as important in ensuring the credibility of findings. We investigate whether these tools reduce the extent of …
Preregistration entails researchers registering their planned research hypotheses, methods, and analyses in a time-stamped document before they undertake their data collection and analyses. This document is then made available with the published …
This course will provide a survey of current personality research and theorywith an emphasis on recent discussions around methods and scientific reporting. We will consider recent accomplishments, questions, and controversies in personality …
Academic institutions in Europe (e.g. universities, research funding institutions, academies) are
increasingly committing themselves to ‘open science’ principles (see e.g. http://openscienceasap.
