Abstract:
|
Economists use a wide variety of types of data in their research. While some of the data used are publicly available, others have confidential information which imposes a barrier to data-sharing. In addition, even when data sets are publicly available, replication requires knowing how the data were manipulated in the process of conducting the analysis. Data-sharing in economics is a relatively recent phenomenon, and the professional peer-reviewed journals in economics have taken a leadership role in its promotion. The American Economic Review now requires authors of accepted papers to provide both their data sets and programs used to manipulate the data for posting on its web site. Research in economics and other social sciences, unlike many of the natural sciences, is typically single-investigator, non-team, often conducted without outside funding.
