Does economic globalisation affect income inequality? A meta‐analysis (2020, methodology): “According to the guidelines derived by Doucouliagos (2011), a partial correlation can be considered to be small if its absolute value is less than 0.07 while 0.17 is considered to be moderate and 0.33 is large.”
Wine Prices and Quality Ratings: A Meta-regression Analysis (2014, unknown): “More recently, Doucouliagos (2011) established guidelines for the practical significance of the partial correlation.12 The partial correlation coefficient is considered “small” if the absolute value is between 0.07 and 0.17, and “large” if the absolute value is greater than 0.33.”
Bank Competition and Financial Stability: Much Ado About Nothing? (2015, unknown): “Table 3 confirms that the competition-stability effect beyond publication bias is indeed close to zero, as no estimate surpasses the threshold defined by Doucouliagos (2011) to denote at least a weak effect.”
DOES GOVERNMENT SPENDING AFFECT INCOME INEQUALITY? A META‐REGRESSION ANALYSIS (2017, unknown): “In terms of the strength of association, it has been suggested that a partial correlation coefficient of less than 0.07 in absolute terms can be considered small, with 0.17 or above considered to be moderate, and 0.33 or above large (Doucouliagos 2011, Abdullah et al 2015).”
