Another Kung and his students' paper with data problem?
Replicating the literature on meritocratic promotion in China
-
lol. Kung and his students literally made their entire careers based on frauds..
The data and codes for this paper are available on the Journal website. They were checked for their ability to replicate the results presented in the paper. The authors requested an exemption on parts of the data on the grounds that access to these data is restricted but provided a simulated or synthetic dataset for the purpose of checking that all relevant codes generate the results. The data (including the synthetic/simulated data for the parts subject to exemption) and codes are available on the Journal website. They were checked for their ability to produce all tables and figures reported in the paper, but the synthetic/simulated data are not designed to reproduce the same results.

The editor is Voth, who is a well-known fraud himself.
Kung is basically the Chinese version of Voth: fake economic historian who does not understand history, serial data fabricator and p-hacker whose work cannot be replicated, completely corrupt.How could the editor agree this?

Kung is the Voth of China: economic historian who doesn't really understand history, p-hacks for a living, extremely corrupt, complete azzh0le.
James Kung is a fraud. His APSR paper misreported the main specification (claimed to have included fixed effects but didn't). Running the main regression as reported completely kills his results. There are MANY other examples like this.

Why "Voth" of China? Why corrupt? except the data issues

From what I know:
- His QJE paper was handled by Barro. He invited Barro and his wife to a trip in HK, in which he served as the tour guide. The paper got accepted soon after that.
- He and his students have been trying to dominate the field of Chinese economic history, by shamelessly pushing their own FAKE research agenda, and deliberately rejecting other people's work in this area.SAD

There is a reason the author of the blog post is unemployed
He dared to expose the “prominent” “scholars” in the field as the fr@uds that they are
The people who evaluated him on the job market sure were afraid he would come for them next. Hence the best way is to make sure this guy would never make it in academia.
This profession is a s!ck sad joke

Unfortunately, that is the game. Papers in the field of Chinese econ history are likely to be referred by them.

Yup. Sad to see the field completely dominated by corrupt frauds.

This is not nothing to be proud of, James
