Use when planning data and code sharing for a Games and Economic Behavior (GEB) manuscript. GEB encourages but does NOT mandate a replication archive — unlike AER/Econometrica/JAE — so this skill helps you share well voluntarily and avoid assuming requirements that do not exist here.

# Replication & Data Policy (geb-replication-and-data-policy)

## When to trigger

- You have experimental data, simulation code, or solver inputs and are unsure what GEB requires
- You assumed GEB has a mandatory data archive (it does not) and are budgeting effort accordingly
- You want to make a theory paper's numerical examples reproducible
- An accepted-stage checklist is being assembled

## The GEB data policy — encouraged, not required

This is a **meaningful distinction** for a journal that publishes experimental work: GEB does **not** operate a mandatory data/code replication archive comparable to the AEA journals (AEJ/AER), Econometrica, or the JAE Data Archive. GEB follows Elsevier's **"encourages and enables"** research-data stance (Option C): authors are *invited* to deposit data and code in a repository (e.g., **Mendeley Data**, free and open access), to include a **data-availability statement**, or to publish a **Data Brief** — but deposit is **not a condition of publication**. Do not assume a required openICPSR-style archive; verify the current wording on the Guide for Authors (some details here are 待核实 — drawn from secondary sources).

Even though it is optional, sharing well is good practice and pre-empts referee doubts about your experiment or computation.
