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.

Important paper from @anderskjelsrud.bsky.social and Sahar!

When female professors go on leave, it decreases third-year female PhD students’ likelihood of publishing & securing academic positions.

Update: We submitted the comment to the Journal of Population Economics, and today we got a desk reject with this motivation. However, we do not know their conclusion about the main results and why the paper was not retracted. Clearly, they do not hold. 1/4

🚨 REPLICATION REPORT UPDATE: One year ago, a tweet by John Holbein alerted me, @ollefolke.bsky.social, and @jopieboy.bsky.social to a paper with a shocking result about Sweden’s law criminalizing the purchase of sex.🧵

In a new @i4replication.bsky.social report we replicate Islam (2019). Main issue: the randomized controlled trial was not randomized. And many other things on top of that. See full report for details. (w/ @carlbonander.bsky.social, @nikljako.bsky.social, @flxhlzmstr.bsky.social, Bensch & Brodeur)

👏 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!
