<p dir="auto">Dear all,</p>
<p dir="auto">we are glad to welcome Lars Vilhuber, Executive Director of the Labor Dynamics Institute at Cornell University & AEA Data Editor (<a href="https://www.vilhuber.com/lars">https://www.vilhuber.com/lars</a>) to LMU Munich. He will talk about <strong>"Replication and Reproducibility in Social Sciences and Statistics: Context, Concerns, and Concrete Measures"</strong> (see abstract below).</p>
<p dir="auto">The talk will take place on <strong>Thursday, 13.06.2019, 10:30 am - 12 noon at LMU Munich (Ludwigstr. 28 Vordergebäude, Room 221)</strong> and is organized by the CRC-INF project and the EBDC in collaboration with the LMU Open Science Center (<a href="https://www.osc.uni-muenchen.de">https://www.osc.uni-muenchen.de</a>) and the LMU Center for Advanced Studies (<a href="https://www.en.cas.uni-muenchen.de">https://www.en.cas.uni-muenchen.de</a>).</p>
<p dir="auto"><em>As places are limited, please register via email: <a href="mailto:ebdc@ifo.de">ebdc@ifo.de</a>.</em></p>
<p dir="auto">Kind regards,</p>

<p dir="auto">Abstract:<br>
Data and the statistical program codes to analyze them are an elementary part of any empirical analysis in all fields of science. Nevertheless, especially in the social sciences this “data work” is most often not directly subject to the scientific quality control, namely the review process of scholarly articles before publication. (How) Has this contributed to the so-called "replication crisis", i.e. the fact that a lot of scientific findings cannot be reproduced? But what is replication and reproducibility? Is it really a crisis and if yes, how bad is it? How can the situation be improved and who can do it? These and many other questions will be addressed by Lars in his presentation and the following joint discussion.</p>
