Finance Crowd Analysis Project (FINCAP)

More than 100 research teams (RTs) from around the world tested the same set of hypotheses on the same data. They worked independently and wrote an academic paper based on their findings. These reports were be evaluated by more than 30 distinguished academics whom we refer to as peer evaluators (PEs). Their feedback was be passed on to the RTs so that they can revise their papers. The project coordinators will study the #fincap results to learn about the scientific process. They have committed ex-ante to a meta-science analysis which was frozen before any instructions and data were given to the RTs and PEs. This frozen “pre-analysis plan” was uploaded to the Open Science Framework on Monday, 2021-01-11. The project will lead to a peer-reviewed academic publication at high level.
