Reporting and Abduction: Taking the Hack Out of the P - How to Future-proof Your Reporting
In this second session of the 2022 SMS Research Methods Interest Group Doctoral and Junior Faculty Consortium, Brent Goldfarb (University of Maryland), Andrew King (Boston University), and Sandeep Pillai (Bocconi University) discussed how current reporting norms fail to take into account fundamental assumptions of frequentist statistics. They reviewed new methods of reporting that take into account the challenges of archival and experimental data analysis. They discussed the limitations of pre-registration and replication in strategic management research and discussed potential solutions including abduction/Inference to the best explanation using historical methods to complement statistical methods and epistemic mapping.
