👏 Good news for researchers working with Swedish register data and who want their research to be reproducible 👉 If you include in your ethics application/research plan that replication may be part of the project, then external replicators (e.g. data editors) can be given access to the data!

The curious thing about billionaires defying the rule of law and the orders of the court, is that their wealth depends entirely on enforceable legal rights: contract, property, and so on. Those saying court orders have no value need to be careful what they wish for.

Worried about losing access to US federal data that may go off-line, or already is? You’re not alone—but duplication isn’t the answer. Many ongoing efforts have already archived key datasets and many more are ongoing. Check out these existing resources and, if you can, support their work. 🧵

Today is AEA P&P submission deadline day ... ... or, as I like to call it, "economist resume padding day"! Economists with more P&Ps are more likely to list them in a way that is difficult to distinguish from refereed ones (i.e., real AER articles). papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....
