"However, we now document that preferences move to the right, rather than to the left, of the political spectrum."
LJL. complete opposite results.Insider here. The new paper was requested by the editors at restud. They did not want to retract the paper and asked the authors to write a new piece that would get published (summarizing the literature). The process lasted 18 months. Paola ended up asking restud to retract the paper, which they ended up doing. I strongly doubt that the new paper is not getting published at restud.
Say whatever you want about Paola's (lack of) data skills and losing the data, but my personal problem with this mess is restud pretty much doing anything they could not to retract the paper. 18 months of none sense asking Paola and coauthor to write a new paper. And then finally retracted when Paola required it. And restud is now seen as this amazing journal that finally retracted a study (complete BS).
I am not making this up. Ask editors at restud or insiders...
What REStud does when someone points out a mistake in a published paper is reward the original authors with another RESTud. Bloom & Van Reenen got one too.
