摘要

科学正处于所谓的“信誉危机”时代。在本研究中，我们讨论了实证结果的可重复性，重点是经济学研究。通过结合理论和经验证据，我们讨论了复制研究的重要性，以及它们是否提高了我们对新发现的信心。该理论阐明了重复的重要性，即使在重复存在偏见的情况下也是如此。然后，我们提出了实验经济学中复制的试点元研究，这是一个子领域，作为调查经济学可信度的积极基准。我们的元研究强调了应用元研究系统化经济学文献时的某些困难。

To Replicate or Not To Replicate? Exploring Reproducibility in Economics through the Lens of a Model and a Pilot Study

The sciences are in an era of an alleged ‘credibility crisis’. In this study, we discuss the reproducibility of empirical results, focusing on economics research. By combining theory and empirical evidence, we discuss the import of replication studies and whether they improve our confidence in novel findings. The theory sheds light on the importance of replications, even when replications are subject to bias. We then present a pilot meta-study of replication in experimental economics, a subfield serving as a positive benchmark for investigating the credibility of economics. Our meta-study highlights certain difficulties when applying meta-research to systematise the economics literature.
