Best practices in replication: A case study of common information in coordination games

This project contains the materials used and collected for the paper "Best practices in replication: A case study of common information in coordination games," accepted for publication in Experimental Economics.<br><br>The paper examines a case of non-replication in experimental economics. An original study, Chen and Chen (2011), was not replicated successfully by Camerer et al. (2016). We find that a seemingly minor protocol deviation, not reading the instructions aloud to the subjects, is likely responsible for this non-replication. We test the importance of common information in another replication run by the third author.<br>Materials included are:1) Programs and files used for data collection (zTree), and all instructions used2) Raw data generated by zTree3) Processed data and programs used to process the data (Stata)4) Analysis files (Stata and Matlab)5) README file containing descriptions of the other files<br>
