Cross-Country Heterogeneity in Intertemporal Substitution (2015, methodology): “In this paper we collect 2,735 estimates of the elasticity of intertemporal substitution reported in 169 studies and review the literature quantitatively using meta-analysis methods. Meta-analysis, which has been employed in economics by Card and Krueger (1995), Ashenfelter et al. (1999), Stanley (2”
A Meta-Analysis of FDI and Productivity Spillovers in Developing Countries (2017, unknown): “A powerful statistical method is the meta-regression model (MRM): ε j i = β0 + β1Se ji + u ji (2) In the absence of publication bias, the estimated effects (ε j i ) should vary randomly around β0 (its standard error, Sei will approach zero) and should be independent of their standard errors (Roberts”
Wine Prices and Quality Ratings: A Meta-regression Analysis (2014, unknown): “For a summary of various estimated models, see Fogarty (2003) and Estrella Orrego, Defrancesco, and Gennari (2012). Examining the price and quality relationship is important in the wider product differentiation context in mature markets.”
R&D and productivity in OECD firms and industries: A hierarchical meta-regression analysis ☆ (2016, unknown): “The meta-analysis methodology draws on Stanley (2005, 2008), Doucouliagos and Stanley (2013), and Stanley and Doucouliagos (2011).”
Transparency, Reproducibility, and the Credibility of Economics Research (2018, unknown): “In the most systematic approach to date (to our knowledge), (Doucouliagos and Stanley 2013) carry out a meta-meta-analysis of 87 meta-analysis papers (many of which are reported in Table 2), and find that over half of the literatures suffer from “substantial” or “severe” publication bias, with…”
CORRUPTION'S DIRECT EFFECTS ON PER‐CAPITA INCOME GROWTH: A META‐ANALYSIS (2014, unknown): “Doucouliagos and Stanley (2009, 2013) indicate that the selection bias should be considered as substantial if |α0| ≥ 1 and as severe if |α0| ≥ 2.”
MEASURING INTERTEMPORAL SUBSTITUTION: THE IMPORTANCE OF METHOD CHOICES AND SELECTIVE REPORTING (2015, background): “Doucouliagos and Stanley [2013] survey 87 economic meta-analyses and report that the largest one includes 1,460 estimates from 124 studies.”
Determinants of Horizontal Spillovers from FDI: Evidence from a Large Meta-Analysis (2013, background): “In a quantitative survey of economics metaanalyses, Doucouliagos & Stanley (2012) state that values of the coefficient for publication bias in the funnel asymmetry test are important if they are statistically significant and larger than one in absolute value; therefore, we can conclude that…”
Habit Formation in Consumption: A Meta-Analysis (2017, methodology): “According to the guidelines by Doucouliagos & Stanley (2013), the estimate of β around 0.177 can be classified as “little to modest” publication bias, and would have to be more than five times larger to be classified differently.”
