This event is part of the Coffee Lectures on Open Science Education.
Abstract: Since 2013, Project TIER has been promoting the incorporation of principles and practices of transparency and reproducibility in quantitative methods training in economics and other social sciences. This coffee lecture will provide an overview of the strategies Project TIER recommends for teaching reproducibility, and discuss several kinds of education benefits that ensue--from technical skills that are valuable in the job market to higher order dimensions of intellectual growth. We will also consider how developments in teaching reproducible research methods over the last decade relate to changes in standards for reproducibility in professional social science research over the same period--notably the establishment of data/code policies and replication archives by leading journals.
