Hanushek et al. (2021) test how country-level measures of patience and risk-taking from the Global Preference Survey predict student performance on the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) math test.

They found that country-level patience positively predicts math test scores and country-level risk-taking negatively predicts math test scores and, similar results when holding country of residence characteristics constant and focus on prefs of the country of origin of migrants.

de Gendre, Feld and Salamanca check the computational reproducibility and find that the data and analysis script provided by the authors allowed us to exactly reproduce the main tables in the paper...

They also checked the robustness replicability by testing how robust the results are to decisions about imputation, weighting, operationalization of dependent variables, choice of control variables, and the inclusion of highly leveraged observations...

They found that the original results are generally robust, though statistical significance of the risk-taking coefficient in the migrant analysis hinges on whether a control for OECD country of residence is included.

Finally, they check the conceptual replicability of the results by using data from the Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) instead of PISA. This exercise shows that their results are robust to countries participating in both PISA and TIMSS!
