Much of my empirical work uses proprietary data from firms. I'm fully aware of the problem this creates for science---my work is, by and large, not (easily) reproducible. There are some things I do to try to enhance the credibility of my work despite this limitation, which I'll save for another blog post, but I have an idea that I want to try and I think other similarly situated researchers should try: ask the data provider to agree to some release date in the future---potentially far in the future.
