讲座简介：
A meta-analysis is a systematic evaluation of a body of research that measures some “effect,” such as the effect of minimum wages on unemployment, or the price elasticity of electricity demand. It is no exaggeration to say that most areas of empirical study in economics are characterized by disparate, and often conflicting, effect estimates. Meta-analysis is an attempt to summarize and “make sense” of these disparate findings. Meta-analyses have a long tradition in the medical sciences, and are increasingly popular in economics. This talk will introduce the methodology of meta-analysis and provide an application to the literature on estimating the effect of taxes on economic growth.
