In their paper, Sampson (2023) introduces a theoretical framework and conducts empirical testing to elucidate the impact of gaps in countries' innovative efficiencies on income, wages, and trade dynamics. We successfully replicate the paper's findings by running the provided codes, and confirm...

This note addresses the questions, concerns, and issues raised in "Understanding cultural persistence and change: a replication of Giuliano and Nunn (2021)." In terms of replicability, all of the tables in Giuliano and Nunn (2021) are correct, and the replication files match the output reported...

Overall, the results of this study are replicable using the clean dataset provided by the authors. However, the process of transforming the raw data into this clean dataset is at times unclear, and certain essential codes are missing from the replication materials, which may hinder complete...

Sanders et al. (2024) made the central claim that effects found in eight meta-analyses are "strong evidence" (P0.001) for various health and educational outcomes in children associated with use of electronic screens ("screen time"). The eight effects highlighted as strong evidence ranged in size...

Guo et al. (2023) examine the impact of early-life experiences of politicians on their policy implementations. They utilize differential exposure of Chinese county party secretaries to the Great Famine of 1959-1961 as a natural experiment and investigate the impact on their policy preferences,...
