摘要:Meta-analysis is a research method to synthesize previously
obtained research results. It is best seen as a statistical
approach towards reviewing and summarising the literature.
This paper aims to introduce the research method of metaanalysis
and to illustrate its potential use in applied economic
policy analysis. For instance, what role can meta-analysis play
as a tool to improve the quality of the calibration of macroeconomic
models? Can value transfer be useful to arrive at estimates
for sectors, time periods and institutional or geographical
entities for which we are currently lacking credible data?
