THE SET-THEORETIC MULTIVERSE [PDF]

The Review of Symbolic Logic, 2012
AbstractThe multiverse view in set theory, introduced and argued for in this article, is the view that there are many distinct concepts of set, each instantiated in a corresponding set-theoretic universe. The universe view, in contrast, asserts that there is an absolute background set concept, with a corresponding absolute set-theoretic universe in ...

A framework for evaluating reproducibility and replicability in economics

Economic Inquiry, Volume 63, Issue 2, Page 338-356, April 2025.
Abstract We propose a framework for evaluating reproducibility and replicability in economics. Reproducibility is defined as testing if the results of an original study can be reproduced using the same data and replicability is defined as testing if the results of an original study hold in new data.
