Peer review is genuinely not a fraud detection mechanism and shouldn't be taken to be. It's not really a knock against a peer review system for failing to pick up when data is faked. The system is already over worked if we did data forensics at scale as a standard part of review it grinds to a halt.

Here we go again. GDP-growth linked bonds without caps are poorly designed for large negative shocks (like war destruction), which come with strong rebound growth but not necessarily economic recovery. www.reuters.com/world/europe...

There are serious concerns about the data validity of the income measurement of the EU-SILC in Hungary after 2017. The numbers reek of manipulation to make the Orban government appear better at fighting poverty than it actually is. This is serious, as it undermines trust in the whole data set.

Interview with me on our work in reconstructing the lost Norwegian local elections before 1937.

Dette er godt arbeid, og god forskningsformidling. Og selv om arbeidet har vært utført på 100 år gamle data, er rekonstruksjon av arkiver dessverre blitt en høyst relevant metode, så dette bør fange interesse også internasjonalt
