Does single-blind review encourage or discourage p-hacking?

Abstract: In 2011, the American Economic Association (AEA) changed its peer review policy for all their journals, shifting from a double-blind process to a single-blind peer-review process. Under this new system, referees became aware of the authors’ identities. In this paper, I explore whether this policy change influenced the prevalence of p-hacking in published papers at The American Economic Review.
