Meta分析方法在经济学中的发展及应用

Study on the Application Paradigm of Meta-analysis in Economics

Meta分析是一种基于已有研究进行系统分析的方法,在经济学领域,有关Meta分析的方法类文章大多只涉及Meta分析的一部分,未对其进行系统性的阐释,难以呈现Meta分析方法一般范式的全貌。因此,基于Meta分析方法在经济学中的具体应用以及Meta分析方法论文献的进展,从理论分析、数据搜集及数据处理、研究样本的异质性检验、发表偏倚识别、综合分析五个方面探讨该方法在经济学领域的一般应用范式,系统归纳了Meta分析方法在经济学中应用的整体架构和具体步骤,同时还强调了应用中需注意的问题及应用前景,这为经济学研究者应用此方法提供了方法论上的指导。

Meta-analysis is a method for system research based on existing studies.The current articles on meta-analysis method in the field of economics are difficult to present the overall perspective,because most of articles only present a part of the method and lack of systematic interpretation.Based on the specific application of Meta-analysis method in economics and the studying progress of literature about Meta-analysis method,the general application paradigm in the field of economics is discussed from the aspects of theoretical analysis,data collection and data processing,heterogeneity test of research samples,publication of bias recognition,and comprehensive analysis.The overall architecture and concrete steps of meta-analysis method are summarized in economics,and the problems and application prospects to be noted are emphasized in application,which provide methodological guidance for economic researchers to apply the method.
