I am sometimes asked (e.g., today) for advice for conducting meta-analysis. Shoudl i use PET-PEESE or Trim-and-fill?

[116] Our (First?) Day In Court - Data Colada “Any update on the lawsuit?” That is the most common question any of us is asked. It is usually preceded by an apologetic preamble, like, “sorry if this is a sensitive question,” or “I don’t know if you’re tired of talking about this, but…” The reality is that, for the most part, our actual sensitivity...

Zoé Ziani (who isn't on BlueSky AFAICT) has posted a long post-mortem on the Gino-Ariely case.

She explains how she came to suspect Gino’s work, the resistance she met during her Ph.D., her experience working with Data Colada, and the lessons business academia should learn from these scandals...

THE REFORM IS COMING FROM INSIDE THE HOUSE.
