The Reproducibility and Robustness of Economics and Political Science

This systematic and large-scale reproduction effort tests the reproducibility and robustness of economics and political science. We reproduced original analyses and conducted robustness checks of 110 articles recently published in leading economics and political science journals. Over 85% of published claims were computationally reproducible, while 72% of statistically significant estimates remained significant and in the same direction after re-analysis.
