Produktbeschreibung
Meta-Regression Analysis in Economics and Business is the first text devoted to the meta-regression analysis (MRA) of economics and business research. The book provides a comprehensive guide to conducting systematic reviews of empirical economics and business research, identifying and explaining the best practices of MRA, and highlighting its problems and pitfalls. These statistical techniques are illustrated using actual data from four published meta-analyses of business and economic research: the effects of unions on productivity, the employment effects of the minimum wage, the value of a statistical life and residential water demand elasticities. While it shares some features in common with these other disciplines, meta-analysis in economics and business faces its own particular challenges and types of research data. This volume guides new researchers from the beginning to the end, from the collection of research to publication of their research. This book will be of great interest to students and researchers in business, economics, marketing, management, and political science, as well as to policy makers.
The purpose of this book is to introduce novice researchers to the tools of meta-analysis and meta-regression analysis and to summarize the state of the art for existing practitioners. Meta-regression analysis addresses the rising "Tower of Babel" that current economics and business research has become. Meta-analysis is the statistical analysis of previously published, or reported, research findings on a given hypothesis, empirical effect, phenomenon, or policy intervention. It is a systematic review of all the relevant scientific knowledge on a specific subject and is an essential part of the evidence-based practice movement in medicine, education and the social sciences. However, research in economics and business is often fundamentally different from what is found in the sciences and thereby requires different methods for its synthesis-meta-regression analysis. This book develops, summarizes, and applies these meta-analytic methods.
