Fixed effects and variance components estimation in three‐level meta‐analysis (2011, unknown): “…1993; Raudenbush & Bryk, 2002; Snijders & Bosker, 1999), and their applications to meta‐analytic data with a two‐level structure have been demonstrated in the literature (DerSimonian & Laird, 1986; Goldstein et al., 2000; Hedges & Olkin, 1985; Hox & de Leeuw, 2003; Raudenbush & Bryk, 2002).”
The Causal Effect of Class Size on Academic Achievement (2011, background): “Although the p values may be conservative (Pinheiro & Bates, 2000), we find no evidence that the causal effects of class size vary across the schools (Goldstein et al., 2000).”

(2010, background): “…educational effectiveness assessment have been shown to provide optimal flexibility both to disentangle random effects by sources of variation (Goldstein , 2003) and to estimate effects of sample characteristics simultaneously in meta-analysis with complex data structure (Goldstein et al., 2000).”
