Mehmood et al. (2023) estimate the effect of Ramadan fasting hours on judicial decisions using case-level data from Pakistan and India. Using exogenous variation in fasting intensity due to the Islamic lunar calendar and latitude, the authors find that Muslim judges are significantly more likely...

Müller (2023) presents evidence for electoral cycles in macroprudential policy in a sample of 58 countries from 2000 through 2014. Consistent with theoretical arguments, the pattern of looser regulation is larger when election outcomes are uncertain and institutions are weak. In this...

This study evaluates the effectiveness of varying levels of human and artificial intelligence (AI) integration in reproducibility assessments of quantitative social science research. We computationally reproduced quantitative results from published articles in the social sciences with 288...

Cox et al. (2023) investigated the acoustic features of infant-directed speech. They used Bayesian meta-analyses to investigate five acoustic features with data from 88 studies. In the present robustness reproduction, we first check if the reported results are reproducible based on the data and...

Webb, Holyoak & Lu (2023) compared human reasoners and GPT-3 on several tasks involving analogy resolution, documenting human-level or superhuman performance in most conditions. In this direct replication, we tested a different, open-weights language model (Mixtral-8x7B) on the same materials...

Holt and Vinopal (2023) provides evidence of an income-based gap in time spent waiting for services on the typical day in the United States. The gap was estimated at the extensive margin, unconditional intensive margin, and intensive margin conditional on some waiting time. The analysis was...

Adema et al. (2025a) critically reassesses the findings of Ciacci (2024), arguing that the reported effects result from statistical errors and flawed empirical implementation. This response systematically addresses those claims by applying their proposed methodology to the corrected sample...

In his comment on our replication of Ciacci (2024), Ciacci (2025b) again finds large and statistically significant treatment effects on rape from Sweden's ban on sex purchases. These estimates derive from overfitted control functions and incorrect clustering in the regression discontinuity in...
