This volume celebrates the innovative and rapidly growing area of economic research known as meta-regression analysis (MRA).
Shows how MRA enables researchers to make sense of disparate economic findings on the same subject.
Develops methods that help researchers to distinguish publication selection from genuine empirical effect.
Applies these methods to topical areas of economic research including: the effect of immigration on wages, minimum wage on unemployment, and gender on salaries.
Helps to bridge the gulf between economic theory and practice.
Written to be accessible to readers with a basic background in empirical economics.
