Abstract

This study offers a simple meta-regression method for estimating genuine empirical effects in research literatures tainted by publication selection. Two-stage precision-effect (PETS) corrects for the misspecification of conventional meta-regression models and provides a viable strategy for estimating empirical economic effects.
