摘要

过去几十年来，元分析已成为一种广为接受的了解经济学研究的工具。荟萃分析通常会挑战各自领域的既定传统智慧。我们系统地回顾了经济学中一系列有影响力的荟萃分析，并将其与 "传统智慧 "进行比较。在对可观察到的偏差进行校正后，实证经济效应通常更接近于零，有时还会出现符号转换。通常情况下，效应大小的相对缩减幅度为 45%-60%。

Conventional wisdom, meta‐analysis, and research revision in economics

Over the past several decades, meta‐analysis has emerged as a widely accepted tool to understand economics research. Meta‐analyses often challenge the established conventional wisdom of their respective fields. We systematically review a wide range of influential meta‐analyses in economics and compare them to “conventional wisdom.” After correcting for observable biases, the empirical economic effects are typically much closer to zero and sometimes switch signs. Typically, the relative reduction in effect sizes is 45%–60%.
