Abstract

This chapter examines the integration of research into undergraduate econometrics teaching through a focus on replication and reproduction (R&R) of published studies. Rather than limiting students to the passive reception of research findings, the R&R approach fosters active engagement by requiring them to work directly with real data and methods in order to reproduce results and interrogate techniques. The discussion situates R&R within broader debates on the role of research in teaching, highlighting its potential to make scholarship more accessible and relevant to students. Practical case studies and classroom-ready materials from the Economics Network Ideas Bank are presented, illustrating how this approach can enhance learning, develop quantitative skills, and build student confidence. Finally, the chapter shows how R&R aligns with wider educational goals, including employability, self-efficacy, and sustained engagement.
