Colleagues,
The Institute for Replication (I4R) and UCD School of Economics are jointly organising the Replication Games alongside the EEA-ESEM Congress on Sunday, 16 August.
About I4R’s Replication Games
Replication Games are free, one-day events that give faculty members, early-career researchers, and graduate students an opportunity to learn more about good practices in open science while networking with researchers in a welcoming and enjoyable environment. Breakfast and lunch will be provided.
Teams of “reproducers” will be assigned a published paper and will work on reproducing its results and conducting sensitivity analyses, or robustness checks, using the paper’s replication folder. Each team will then write a report summarizing the reproducibility and replicability of the published paper. Completion of a report gives replicators co-authorship on a meta-paper resulting from the Replication Games. Where suitable, replicators will also have the opportunity to interact with the original authors, with I4R mediating the process.
Replication Games Sign-Up
Those who are interested are encouraged to sign up by Friday, 7 August here.
Note: Even if you are not registered for EEA-ESEM, you can still participate in the RG.
About I4R
I4R is dedicated to advancing credible research through mass reproductions and replications.

Its discussion papers have been published in academic journals such as Nature, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Journal of Economic Behavior & Organization, Economic Inquiry, and The Economic Journal.
Sincerely,
