A simple model suggesting economically rational sample-size choice drives irreproducibility [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Several systematic studies have suggested that a large fraction of published research is not reproducible. One probable reason for low reproducibility is insufficient sample size, resulting in low power and low positive predictive value. It has been suggested that insufficient sample-size choice is driven by a combination of scientific competition and '

Long-term effects of female teacher on her pupils' smoking behaviour later in life [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2021
In Japan, teacher and student is randomly matched in the first year of elementary school. Under the quasi-natural experimental setting, we examine how learning in female teacher homeroom class in the elementary school influence pupils' smoking behavior after they become adult.

A Practical Approach to Social Learning [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2020
Models of social learning feature either binary signals or abstract signal structures often deprived of micro-foundations. Both models are limited when analyzing interim results or performing empirical analysis. We present a method of generating signal structures which are richer than the binary model, yet are tractable enough to perform simulations ...
