We attempt to replicate 67 papers published in 13 well-regarded economics journals using author-provided replication files that include both data and code. Some journals in our sample require data and code replication files, and other journals do not require such files. Aside from 6 papers that...

Given the importance of reproducibility for the scientific ethos, more and more journals have pushed for transparency of research through data availability policies. If the introduction and implementation of such data policies improve the availability of researchers' code and data, what is the...

This article introduces TableMaker, an Excel macro that produces publication-quality tables and includes them as new sheets in workbooks. The macro provides an intuitive graphical user interface that allows for the full customization of all table features. It also allows users to save and load...

Operable knowledge features are discovered which present a structure of knowledge which is independent of the specific meaning or use of knowledge. This discovery presents a completely new mathematically based concept of knowledge for different disciplines like economy, sociology, communication...

In this study we propose a stochastic mortality forecast model that may be viewed as a Lévy process. First, age, period and cohort effects are objectively identified in a given matrix of historic mortality data. Next, these patterns are removed from the matrix of mortality improvement rates. We...

Any mortality analysis is faced with the difficulty of dealing with large quantities of noisy data. Pragmatic approaches have ever relied on graphical analysis of mortality contour maps in order to identify age, period and cohort effects. We adapt and apply suitable methods of image processing...

This paper verified the predictive performance of probabilistic record linkage algorithms for the integration big sized real databases, evaluating the effects of the blocking key definition, as well as string metric functions and phonetic code pairing algorithms with respect to the prediction's...
