I am a Postdoctoral Researcher at University of Zurich, specializing in applied economics at the intersection of culture and media.
My research examines the dynamics of cultural change, utilizing generative AI to quantify the values expressed across cultural markets at scale. Additionally, I study the economic implications of gender norms, examining how these societal standards shape the behavior of men and women in the broader economy.
This systematic and large-scale reproduction effort tests the reproducibility and robustness of economics and political science. We reproduced and conducted robustness analysis of 110 articles recently published in leading economics and political science journals. We found that over 85% of published claims were computationally reproducible. In robustness checks, our re-analyses lead to 72% of statistically significant estimates to remain significant and in the same direction, and the median reproduced effect size is the same as the originally published effect size (that is, 100% of the published effect size). Fourth, six independent research teams examined 12 pre-specified hypotheses about determinants of reproducibility and robustness. They found a negative relationship between reproducers’ experience and reproducibility, but no relationship between reproducibility and author characteristics or data availability.
