disruption is affecting the @AEAjournals
data and code repository. Authors planning to deposit their packages will receive temporary instructions from the editorial office or from the Data Editor, see also https://aeadataeditor.github.io/posts/2023-08-29-notice-downtime. Readers seeking replication packages will need to be patient...
Access to replication packages retrieval and deposit interrupted

The AEA uses the openICPSR repository for the deposit and dissemination of replication packages. On Sunday, Aug 27 2023, the University of Michigan, the home institution for openICPSR, had to take all of their systems offline for an undetermined time period. The AEA Code and Data Repository is therefore not accessible at this time, for both authors seeking to deposit their required replication package, and for interested readers to obtain published replication packages. A few operational notes from us follow.

A short example of how to update a replication package

The AEA Data and Code Availability does not just require that authors publish a replication package - it also encourages authors to improve upon the replication package. Here is an example.

I have previously posted about how to update a replication package, after initial publication. We do get more than a dozen such updates a year (see my annual reports). I’ll describe the process and give a few examples here https://aeadataeditor.github.io/posts/2023-08-20-examples-of-updates
Details on how to update a replication package post-publication

We investigate all well-documented issues with replication packages, regardless of when the package was submitted, and will ask authors to fix legitimate issues. Anybody can report. See https://aeadataeditor.github.io/posts/2022-11-09-updating-post-publication for an example.
