Sorry again, I know aboutthis guys history, but I always understood you could publish the full/extended version of P&P, which are kind of "advances". You need to belong to certain clubs to get into aer p&p in anycase and the profession seems to downweight them for this reason. So are they really at fault here?

There's two professors at Harvard involved in this, also Iris Bohnet, Academic Dean and Professor of Public Policy at the Harvard Kennedy School, Cambridge, USA, see was coauthor for the Public Choice publication in which none of the other three papers were cited.
Among the other Frey coauthors there is Reiner Eichenberger from Université de Fribourg who is also member of Frey's CREMA institute and engaged in double publishing in AER P&P and JPE on European and American economists, and in Journal of Cultural Economics and European Economic Review on the return of art investment. -
It's not like Oberholzer-Gee has a lily white reputation. His paper in JPE on filesharing, with Levitt as the editor, was called into a huge amount of doubt by Stan Liebowitz and others. It's hard to know what actually happened there, mostly because Oberholzer-Gee and his co-author refused to share their data (even just for the sake of replication), but the best guess after looking at all the evidence is that they forged their data.
