Overview

Large-scale evaluation shows reproducibility in economics and political science, highlighting data sharing urgency.

Key Points

  • Evaluated 110 articles from leading economics and political science journals.
  • Conducted computational reproducibility assessments.
  • Performed robustness checks on statistically significant results.
  • Over 85% of articles were found to be computationally reproducible.
  • 72% of statistically significant results remained significant in robustness checks.
  • About 25% of articles had non-trivial coding errors.
