Report

Data was gathered manually by the author, by surveying the website(s) of the corresponding journals. This endeavour was part of a study commissioned by editors of Economica to help them decide on their future decisions on the reproducibility and data policy of the journal. The report and the data might be relevant to other small journals with more limited resources.
