Björn Wahlroos kirjoittaa tuoreessa kirjassaan Etlan johdon vaihtumisesta vuonna 2019. Kirjoitus antaa aiheen pohtia etujärjestöjen rahoittaman tutkimustoiminnan roolia ja vähän laajemminkin asiantuntijatietoon pohjautuvaa päätöksentekoa Suomessa.

David Roodman writes: consumers of economic research are more truth-seeking than the producers. Here is Roodman's recap of his re-analysis of a set of papers on temperature and judge decision-making. The comment process is not working that well! Gory details in 🧵 1/

Update 8b: Read 🧵8a and others here #GDRI_rep. Our diagram hints at other studies linked to EER. We refer to many of these studies as the cyclone papers. We reached out to the Journal of Risk & Uncertainty about this paper: “Natural disaster and risk-sharing behavior”...

#GDRI_rep Update 8a: Major updates coming up over the next few weeks. 1st update: We reproduced "Parent–teacher meetings and student outcomes" some time ago. The paper was then retracted by the editors of the Euro Econ Rev. Additional studies are connected (see diagram) 🧵

It wasn't me this week, but I have encountered the same problem many times. I wonder, do not these people know how the internet works?
We did not want to start the week like this, but here we are. Yet again our chair’s inbox is filled with messages from replicators who have opened “replication” folders only to find names, Social Insurance Numbers, mental-health diagnoses and incomes of study participants. 🧵

Investigative journalists found that the Finnish finance ministry selectively cited our study (with @SGechert) on the growth effects of corporate tax cuts to back the ministry's claim that planned tax cuts will largely pay for themselves. Our main result is inconsistent with this

@DavidWolfe How did humans survive for the last 100,000's years without vaccines and modern hygiene? It's either a bloody miracle or the human bodys' immune system is perfectly fine and naturally effective.

We will publicly release these reports shortly. We have requested several replication packages over the past months. Unfortunately, we have not yet managed to get a single new replication package as of today (excluding updated packages for one article at the request of editors)

"No reason" is the most common reason for retracting a paper in economics. Sounds like a "no problem" to me.
@jrgptrs @RexDouglass I was so blown away by this I had to look into it - these guys claim 55 retractions ever by 2018 but only TWO were explicitly for research fuckery which is maybe what you're pointing at? https://t.co/5AhT2XsbnT

This gem is hidden in the response to the response. ”…within a few hours and under extreme time pressure 11,843 households were visited and 22,686 respondents interviewed (two spouses in each household).” Indeed hard to believe 🫠

@aortmannphd Thanks! I'm sure I missed some key points. I did it rather quickly over my morning coffee :)
