Abstract

Currently, policy decisions are often made based on untested scientific results. Replication studies repeat previously published research and, thus, are an effective way to test the validity and reliability of research studies, as well as to test the potential for generalisations of such studies. Replications can contribute to improved policy decisions and thus more efficient use of resources. To date, very few replications of research in agricultural economics are available and the incentives to engage in replications are low. Moreover, the conditions for replicating studies are poor. For example, published articles often lack full transparency in terms of documentation, data and computer code. This Point de Vue highlights the advantages of striving for conditions that facilitate replication studies and foster such a culture in agricultural economics. Policymakers could explicitly invite and support replications of studies that are key for good policymaking. To this end, they can address both demand-side and supply-side problems of replications, for example, by inviting, valuing and supporting replications of policy-relevant analyses and by providing institutional and legal infrastructure facilitating open science and replications. With this, policy can support the agricultural economics profession, while agricultural economists can support sound policymaking, both reaping the benefits of a more transparent research culture.

通过复制改善农业政策决策 Améliorer les décisions en matière de politique agricole grâce à des réplications Verbesserung der agrarpolitischen Entscheidungen durch Replikationsstudien
目前,政策决定往往是根据未经检验的科学成果做出的。复制研究是对以前发表的研究成果的重复,因此是检验研究成果有效性和可靠性的有效方法,也是检验此类研究成果推广潜力的有效方法。重复研究有助于改进决策,从而提高资源利用效率。迄今为止,农业经济学领域的研究成果很少,进行复制的积极性也不高。此外,复制研究的条件也很差。例如,发表的文章往往在文件、数据和计算机代码方面缺乏充分的透明度。本观点强调了在农业经济学中努力创造促进复制研究的条件和培养这种文化的优势。政策制定者可以明确邀请并支持对良好决策至关重要的重复研究。为此,他们可以解决复制的需求方和供应方问题,例如,邀请、重视和支持政策相关分析的复制,以及提供促进开放科学和复制的制度和法律基础设施。这样,政策可以支持农业经济学专业,而农业经济学家可以支持合理的决策,两者都能从更加透明的研究文化中获益。

期刊介绍: EuroChoices is a full colour, peer reviewed, outreach journal of topical European agri-food and rural resource issues, published three times a year in April, August and December. Its main aim is to bring current research and policy deliberations on agri-food and rural resource issues to a wide readership, both technical & non-technical. The need for this is clear - there are great changes afoot in the European and global agri-food industries and rural areas, which are of enormous impact and concern to society. The issues which underlie present deliberations in the policy and private sectors are complex and, until now, normally expressed in impenetrable technical language.
