New (March22)! Open access journal: Journal of comments and replications in economics (access)

The Journal of Comments and Replications in Economics (JCRE) aims to be the premier outlet for articles that comment on or replicate previously published articles in economics and closely related disciplines. Because many journals are reluctant to publish comments and replications, JCRE was founded to provide an outlet for research that explores whether published results are correct, robust, and/or generalizable.  In doing so, JCRE seeks to increase scientific dialog between researchers and to increase the overall credibility and transparency of research in economics. JCRE replaces the International Journal for Re-Views in Empirical Economics (IREE).

New (Feb22)! Access to Strategy Science journal

The EUR now provides access to Strategy Science, published by the Institute for Operations Research and the Management Sciences. Here;s the editorial statement: Strategy Science seeks to publish outstanding research directed to the challenges of strategic management in both business and non-business organizations. The journal is eclectic with respect to methodologies, including field-based work, large-sample empirical work, and computational and analytic models. Strategy Science is open to a wide variety of underlying disciplinary approaches including economics, operations research, political science, psychology, and sociology. The critical issue with respect to publication is whether the work enhances, in some meaningful manner, our understanding of some substantive issues in the strategy domain. Work is expected to be of a high level of rigor, but rigor itself is not a basis for publication. We encourage authors to take chances, to operate at the boundaries and intersections of existing lines of research, and, ultimately, to aim high --- to produce work that truly pushes the field forward.  

The EUR now has a license for TDM Studio (ProQuest), a resource meant for text and datamining research for all subscribed Proquest content. The database is a licensed ‘alternative’ to web scraping, which is usually not allowed.

The platform provides access to more than 16,000 resources! Examples of content included are, for instance, historical newspapers - the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal and the Times of India -, scholarly journals, trade journals, books, reports, magazines, blogs, podcasts and websites.

The platform consists of a data visualization area - requiring no further knowledge of programming languages. In addition, there is an analysis environment (the TDM workbench) accessible with R and Python. The platform doesn’t allow for (full) retrieval of the text of the resources, preventing copyright infringement. What users can do is store, export and share all analytics results and derived content.

Users need to register here with their full EUR email address to get access to the TDM Studio and the data visualisation area. If you want access to the TDM workbench, please send an email to edsc@eur.nl. Please explain briefly what you want to do, as the number of user accounts is limited. Note that workbench access is targeted to experienced R/Python users.

Great news!

EUR alumnus, Guido Imbens was awarded the 2021 Nobel Prize for Economics together with David Card and Joshua D. Angrist. The economists received the reward today (October 11th) for their work on natural experiments that result from chance events or policy changes and result in groups of people being treated differently, in a way that resembles clinical trials in medicine. Guido Imbens was specifically lauded for his metholological contributions.
