Lott has an update to his 6/13/03 post where he responds to this post. He writes:
An e-mailer asks about whether the Ayres and Donohue piece in the American Law and Economics Review was refereed. While the original papers in that journal are indeed refereed, their piece was a review article and my understanding from Ayres was that it was not refereed.
It seems that Lott is unable to admit to even the smallest error. He claimed that they had not published it in a refereed journal, when in fact they had. Instead of admitting to the error he pretends that his original claim was different.
More importantly, this very minor point has been the only response by Lott to my last two weeks of postings where I have raised some very important issues. When will Lott say something about the coding errors?
