🧵1/ Our first meta-science paper (with 350+ coauthors) is published today in Nature. It presents one of the largest-ever reproducibility projects in economics & political science.
Here’s what we found 👇
Endlich ist die Musikliste des Jahres draußen! 😅 War schon nervös, dass Die Zeit es aus Kostengründen gestrichen hat.
What better way to kick off day 2 of the #EAAE2025 in Bonn than a session on “Climatic Crisis And Risk Management In Agriculture: A Behavioural Perspective” where I was kindly invited to be a discussant by session organizer Simone Cerroni 🎤
The Göttingen replication games is underway! We have about 65 participants reproducing 18 studies. Many teams are working on a study dealing with deforestation and other issues related to agriculture and development.
A bar chart displays the percentage of national income that various developed countries allocated as Official Development Assistance (ODA) to the least developed nations in 2022, compared to a target of at least 0.15%. The bar for Luxembourg shows the highest percentage at 0.46%, followed by Sweden at 0.28% and Norway at 0.2%. Other countries listed include Iceland and Denmark at 0.14%, Belgium at 0.13%, Switzerland, Netherlands, and Japan all at 0.12%, each followed by Germany, France, and Ireland at 0.11%. Canada provides 0.1%, while the United States and the United Kingdom each contribute 0.08%. Austria gives 0.07%, Slovenia and South Korea both provide 0.06%, and Italy is at the lowest at 0.05%. Data source: OECD (2024). The note indicates that it represents the 20 OECD nations providing the most aid, percentage-wise, to the poorest nations.
Most OECD countries fail to reach the UN’s target for aid to the poorest countries
New research alert! Our study investigates the effectiveness of human-only, AI-assisted, and AI-led teams in assessing the reproducibility of quantitative social science research. We've got some surprising findings!
