The reliability of replications: a study in computational reproductions Open
This study investigates researcher variability in computational reproduction, an activity for which it is least expected. Eighty-five independent teams attempted numerical replication of results from an original study of policy preferences…

Explaining Discrimination Open
Experiments on ethnic or racial discrimination often use names to signal originin market situations under the assumption that non-ethnic name signals do notsystematically affect the outcome. Using survey data, we demonstrate significantvar…

Bribes and Bombs: The Effect of Corruption on Terrorism Open
We leverage plausibly exogenous variation in regional exposure to corruption to provide causal estimates of the impact of local political corruption on terrorist activity for a sample of 175 countries between 1970 and 2018. We find that hi…

Mass Emigration and the Erosion of Liberal Democracy Open
s In many regions of the world, liberal politics is on the retreat. This development is usually explained with reference to inherently political phenomena. We propose an alternative explanation, linking democratic backsliding to deep-reach…

Experimental evidence on how implicit racial bias affects risk preferences Open
We ask how human behavior changes when racial discrimination is costly and when choices are risky. By asking N = 4,944 participants in Germany to form a soccer team in a series of online experiments, we measure decision-making in an access…

Electoral Discrimination, Party Rationale, and the Underrepresentation of Immigrant‐Origin Politicians Open
Immigrants and other minorities are underrepresented in politics in most Western democracies. We argue that strategically acting party gatekeepers who update their nomination strategies based on voter behavior contribute to this representa…

Grambank reveals the importance of genealogical constraints on linguistic diversity and highlights the impact of language loss Open
While global patterns of human genetic diversity are increasingly well characterized, the diversity of human languages remains less systematically described. Here, we outline the Grambank database. With over 400,000 data points and 2400 la…

Replication Data for: Returning from Greener Pastures? How Exposure to Returnees Affects Migration Plans Open
Information and networks have long been hypothesized to be crucial elements of the formation of emigration intentions. Returnees are a prime source of information about life as a migrant. In this study, we contribute to an emerging literat…

No sign of increased ethnic discrimination during a crisis: evidence from the Covid-19 pandemic Open
When crises hit, social theory predicts increased hostility toward immigrants. We exploit the Covid-19 pandemic as a unique exogenous crisis and examine whether discrimination increased in its wake. Repeating a field experiment in the Swis…

We leverage the British Brexit referendum decision to leave the European Union, to demonstrate how changes in uncertainty about a country's future socio‐political condition can impact migratory behaviour. Using official bilateral migration…

Observing many researchers using the same data and hypothesis reveals a hidden universe of uncertainty Open
This study explores how researchers’ analytical choices affect the reliability of scientific findings. Most discussions of reliability problems in science focus on systematic biases. We broaden the lens to emphasize the idiosyncrasy of con…

Firing discrimination: Selective labor market responses of firms during the COVID-19 economic crisis Open
The speed of the economic downturn in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic has been exceptional, causing mass layoffs—in Germany up to 30% of the workforce in some industries. Economic rationale suggests that the decision on which workers are…

Climate change literacy and migration potential: micro-level evidence from Africa Open
While a growing literature studies the effects of climate change on international migration, still only relatively little is known about the individual mechanisms linking migration decisions to climate change. We argue that climate change …
