TLDR: AEA is considering a letters journal and to revise it's "lol let's have a replication policy but nobody needs to follow it because all of the data is confidential!" policy.
Some of the important questions you need to be heard on:
5: Please select the answer that best reflects your views on the data sharing policies at the AEA journals
One of the answers to this question is "too many waivers are granted so that replication is not really possible". I would think EJMR bros and broettes would agree this is the right answer.
9: Would you favor the creation of a new journal that would specialize in high quality, rapidly published short papers (similar say to Science or Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences)?
9a: If so, which of the following reasons motivate your support (indicate all that apply)?
- Such papers are currently disadvantaged in the existing journals
- Easier to read
- Existing papers are inflated with unnecessary distracting material
- Other (please explain)
An AEA version of Economics Letters? Yes please!
10: If a new journal for short papers were created, what do you believe would be critical for its success (select all that apply)?
