ReplicationWiki

A database of empirical studies (so far mainly in economics), the availability of replication material for them and of replication studies. It can help teaching replication to students. Seminars at several faculties were already taught for which the information of this database was used. In the starting phase the focus was on some leading journals in economics. Replication results can be published as replication working papers of the University of Göttingen's Center for Statistics. Teaching and providing access to information will raise awareness for the need for replications, provide a basis for research about the reasons why replications so often fail and how this can be changed, and educate future generations of economists about how to make research replicable. The starting phase of this project was funded by the Institute for New Economic Thinking (INET).
