The REECAP replication project webinar
REECAP replication project webinar - Monday 19th of October 2020
Organizing committee: Jens Rommel, Marianne Lefebvre, Laure Kufhuss
The purpose of the webinar is to introduce a planned replication project of agricultural economics experiments to the REECAP community. This project links to a call for a special issue in Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy.
A replication is any study whose primary purpose is to (i) determine the fragility or robustness of previous research findings and (ii) identify why studies reach different conclusions on the same subject.

Introduction to the replication projects by Camerer et al..pdfPurpose of this Webinar
If you are a researcher:
- Learn about the replication crisis, where it comes from and what has been done so far to address it.
- Get a chance to participate in REECAP replication project, aiming at coordinating the replication of experiments relevant for agricultural policies.
The planned replications may be submitted to a special issue in Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy (call to be published soon by AEPP and shared with participants to the webinar).
If you are a practitioner:
- While this webinar is methodology-oriented, you may be curious about what is done to improve the robustness of research findings when you have to use these results.
