Will just add to point about the decline in reporting null results: some evidence (in econ) that this problem is concentrated high-ranking journals (top-5s) and not elsewhere. Within sample of all registered RCTs on AEA site (2013-2016), we found reporting nulls in abstract. . .
Enjoy!

One of my colleagues, Zahirul Islam, from ARCED is speaking into a microphone while standing in a large room in Dhaka with people sitting around him listening to him. In the background, you can see a presentation and a banner of our research project.
Today my colleague Zahirul (from ARCED) started our enumerator training in Dhaka. Over the coming weeks, they will collect data on recipients of a social pension to estimate impacts of the pension in this project with @sfehrler.bsky.social, @atonurabbani.bsky.social, and @violaasri.bsky.social.

Hi, #EconSky 📉📈 !
I am on the job market this year, so in the spirit of “hire me, please” energy, I’ll be sharing a short run-down of some of my work (since starting my post-doc in 2021).
I have broad interests, but I generally call myself an applied labor & public economist.
