Documenting empirical research in Economics: why is it important and how is it done?
Journal Title: Saudi Journal of Business and Management Studies - Year 2017, Vol 2, Issue 3
Abstract
Abstract: One of the main challenges facing economic researchers across the globe, especially empirical researchers in developing economies, is how to document their work. Indeed, numerous scholarly contributions are rejected by credible and refereed journals due to poor documentation. This paper examines the importance of good documentation of empirical research in Economics as well as how such documentation is done. Specifically, this paper shows that replication may be impossible if empirical research is not properly documented, and that well compiled data file, do-file, and technical annex are key ingredients of properly documented empirical research in Economics.
