Open access to research data: Strategic delay and the ambiguous welfare effects of mandatory data disclosure

Abstract: Mandatory data disclosure is an essential feature for credible empirical work but comes at a cost: First, authors might invest less in data generation if they are not the full residual claimants of their data after their …rst publication. Second, authors might "strategically delay" the time of submission of papers in order to fully exploit their data in subsequent research. We analyze a three-stage model of publication and data disclosure. We derive exact conditions for positive welfare e¤ects of mandatory dat… Show more

“…Some work has focused on the potential incentive for researchers to delay publication of papers because such publication would come with a requirement to share their data, potentially diminishing their opportunity fully exploit it [64]. The requirement to share data could even act as a disincentive to collect it (because the researcher may expect to be able to reap the full benefits of their data collection work).…”

“…Longo & Drazen, 2016. Also the wish to retain exclusive rights to data that had taken a lot of time to produce is an important reason for researchers not to share their data (Savage &Vickers, 2009 andMueller-Langer &Andreoli-Versbach, 2014). Other concerns comprise legal issues and the fear of a misinterpretation/misuse of data (Tenopir et al, 2009).…”
