RDP 2021-02: Star Wars at Central Banks 6. We Were Able to Replicate the Original Papers

We started this work with an attempt to replicate the findings of Simonsohn et al (2014) and Brodeur et al (2016), using their data and code. Since replication results now attract broader interest, we provide them in Appendix B. The bottom line is that the supplementary material for both papers was excellent, and we were able to replicate the findings without material error. The authors of both papers promptly answered questions.
