🧵1/ Our first meta-science paper (with 350 coauthors) is published today in Nature. It presents one of the largest-ever reproducibility projects in economics & political science.
Here’s what we found 👇

We also invite short commentaries (<4,000 words) informed by recent developments in the economics meta-scientific community. These are typically solicited — but you can email a proposal (max 500 words) to request an invitation to contribute.

The authors of the great Star Wars paper and I just posted a 1-page corrigendum. It does not change conclusions. Very fun working with my fellow Jedi meta-scientists. That I checked the work is a measure of the paper's importance. The Force aligned us.

🚨 CORRIGENDUM ALERT 🚨
A decade after Star Wars: The Empirics Strike Back was published in AEJ: Applied, we've just published an official corrigendum with the AEA.
This is a love story. 🧵

This is a fantastic and rare (!) example of authors of a published paper and the author of a comment on that paper working together to fix the scientific record. Kudos to all involved. This is not easy, even with good faith all around. I hope to see the AER follow suit before too long. @davidroodman @AEAJournals @I4Replication

10/ And closes with a quote attributed to Leonardo da Vinci
"He who is fixed to a star does not change his mind."
For 13 years, we thought that was a fitting ending.
Now, we are even more convinced that science works best when we are willing to do the opposite.

11/ The stars help us navigate.
Good scientists change their minds.
May the Force be with all Jedi replicators ⭐
And all our love to @mgardot
