Executive Director Vilhuber named AEA Data Editor

The American Economic Association (AEA) has completed its search for the position of Data Editor, and is pleased to announce that Lars Vilhuber of Cornell University has been appointed. Lars will work with the AEA journal editors and Executive Committee to develop and implement methods to maximize replicability and reproducibility of research findings published in AEA journals. Such methods may involve some pre-publication verification of materials provided by authors, but will also encourage incorporating basic principles of replicability into researchers' workflows and address the increasing reliance on restricted-access data. More information on Lars' work can be found at http://lars.vilhuber.com.  Find out more about the AEA here.
