Employee voice and organizational performance: Team versus representative influence (2010, background): “Given this mix of positive and negative effects, many researchers argue that the net effect of unions on productivity is a question that must be examined empirically in different contexts (Doucouliagos and Laroche, 2003; Hirsch, 2004).”
Unions and Profits: A Meta-Regression Analysis (2009, unknown): “The meta-analysis study by Jarrell and Stanley (1990) established a clear negative impact on labor costs (unions increase wages), while the meta-analysis by Doucouliagos and Laroche (2003b) established a clear negative impact on total factor productivity.”
What do unions do for economic performance? (2004, background): “A “meta-analysis” of the unions-productivity literature concludes similarly that the average effect in the United States is very small but positive, while negative in the United Kingdom (Doucouliagos and Laroche, 2003).”
Aid Effectiveness on Growth. A Meta Study (2008, background): “Previous meta-analyses have identified important differences in research findings between journals in labor economics (see Doucouliagos and Laroche 2003) and in the economic growth literature (see Doucouliagos and Ulubasoglu 2006).”
Meta-Regression Methods for Detecting and Estimating Empirical Effects in the Presence of Publication Selection (2007, methodology): “…have been used in economics (Card and Krueger, 1995; Ashenfelter et al., 1999; Görg and Strobl, 2001; Abreu et al., 2005; Doucouliagos, 2005; Doucouliagos and Laroche, 2003; Nijkamp and Poot, 2005; Rose and Stanley, 2005; Stanley, 2005a), there has been no systematic evaluation of their…”
Meta-Regression Analysis as the Socio-Economics of Economic Research (2008, unknown): “Union-productivity research is unusual in that there has been a long history of widely accepted theory that supports both positive and negative productivity effects from union membership—the ‘two-faces’ view (Doucouliagos and Laroche, 2003).”

Does Environmental Management Improve Financial Performance? A Meta-Analytical Review (2013, methodology): “…neither includes studies that do not provide sufficient data to calculate a common measure of effect size nor those that use very different statistical research methods, such as results from logit or probit regression or multivariate analysis (Doucouliagos & Laroche, 2003; Hunter & Schmidt, 2004).”
Transparency, Reproducibility, and the Credibility of Economics Research (2018, unknown): “(1991) reviewed the universe of protocols submitted to the Central Oxford Research Ethics Committee, and both Turner et al.
