Not to quibble, but this study was carried out by Political

Oops! Please quibble.
Well, who am I to refuse an invitation? ;-)
Though PolySci types, there is much here that is relevant to
psychologists,
especially methodologists. Putting the issue of fraud (unverifiable
data collection and analysis in the first study of the retracted paper)
aside, it is interesting to note that the authors Green and LaCour
were co-authors on a previous paper. From scholar.google.com,
here is the reference:
Aronow, P. M., Gerber, A. S., Green, D. P., Kern, H., & LaCour, M. J.
(2015).
Double Sampling for Nonignorable Missing Outcome Data in Randomized
Experiments.
Note #1: Apparently this is an unpublished manuscript and Google Scholar
also has a 2014 version entry in its database. The link to the 2014 pdf
of the article on scholar.google.com is dead but the link to the 2015 is
alive. You can obtain the PDF of the manuscript here (for now):
http://csap.yale.edu/sites/default/files/files/green2.pdf
Note #2: Aronow is the first author of this paper. Aronow is also named
in the Retraction Watch article as the person Green went to regarding
the problems in the LaCour & Green manuscript
Note #3: The PDF is available on Yale's "Center for the Study of
American Politics" (CSAP). A search of the website for "Donald
Green" and "Michael LaCour" turns up nothing -- it seems that
the search "ANDs" the two names. A search using "Michael
LaCour" provides no hits while a search using "Donald Green"
produces two hits; see:
http://csap.yale.edu/search/node/%22Donald%20Green%22
Both hits are to CSAP workshops on quantitative research methods.
Note #4. One of the workshop that Green gave at CSAP is based
on the manuscript identified above; see:
http://csap.yale.edu/event/macmillan-csap-workshop-quantitative-research-methods-donald-green-double-sampling
The workshop/presentation was being given at Yale's Institution for
Social and Policy Studies (ISPS) which the page immediately above
claims that Green was the director of during 1996-2011.
Note #5: A search of ISPS for "Donald Green" and "Michael LaCour"
produces no hits. A search for just "Donald Green" produces a number
of hits (including the one at CSAP) plus others on topics such as
regression discontinuity analysis (Political Analysis), ISPS Experiment
workshop, and other political and methodological topics; see:
http://isps.yale.edu/search/node/%22Donald%20Green%22#.VV32u1Ldb-o
Looks like Yale doesn't want anything to do with Michael LaCour even
though he is a co-author on a paper from one of their research centers.
