The debate about Borjas/Breznau's paper on ideological bias in migration research is out now @i4replication.bsky.social. With a comment by Katrin Auspurg & Josef Brüderl: hdl.handle.net/10419/341575 And a reply by the original authors: hdl.handle.net/10419/341576

There’s been a lot of buzz around the Borjas/Breznau (2026) paper (www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...) and potential ideological bias in research. We took a closer look at the data. Could there be a "bias in bias research"? Here is what we found: www.econstor.eu/bitstream/10...
