Digital transformation has re-engineered tourism marketing and how destination branding competes for tourist attention, yet scholarship offers little systematic quantification of these changes. Drawing on 160 peer-reviewed studies published between 1990 and 2025, we combine grounded-theory...

We present a comprehensive meta-analysis of the determinants of financial inclusion, synthesizing 3,817 estimates from 102 studies published between 2013 and 2024. To reconcile divergent findings, we convert all results to a common unbiased metric-the partial correlation coefficient corrected...

This meta-analysis synthesizes 4,521 elasticity estimates drawn from 413 studies to examine the presence of publication and endogeneity bias in the literature. We coded over 100 study-level variables to assess how electricity consumers respond to price changes. Our results show that electricity...

Pay transparency laws are a key policy response to persistent gender wage disparities, yet evidence on their effectiveness is mixed. This meta-analysis synthesizes 268 estimates from 12 studies. Across a broad suite of publication bias diagnostics, we find at most weak evidence of selective...

Behavioral interventions on citizens are often promoted as a low-cost route to induce environmentally friendly behavior, yet published estimates of their effectiveness are highly variable and prone to selective reporting. We reanalyzed the evidence of behavioral interventions on citizens. We...

We build a dataset of output and price effects of conventional monetary policy containing 146,463 point estimates and confidence bands from 4,871 impulse-response functions in 409 primary studies. Simple average responses suggest that interest rate hikes substantially dampen output and prices....

We create a large meta-dataset of price elasticities of energy demand for heating and cooling in buildings, comprising close to 5000 price elasticity estimates including study and observation characteristics from more than 400 primary studies. We find robust and strong signs of p-hacking and...

This paper analyses a crucial aspect of the gender gap in competitive behaviour: performance under competitive pressure. We rely on existing experimental evidence to test the prevalent hypothesis that women ’choke’ under pressure while men increase their performance in high-pressure...

Corporate social responsibility and the private provision of (global) public goods are of key interest to economists and policymakers. Over the last few years, many more private companies made their operations carbon neutral. It is an empirical question how consumers value carbon-neutral and...

This paper presents the first quantitative meta-analysis of the price elasticity of charitable giving under both rebate and matching schemes. We compile 151 elasticity estimates from 33 experimental studies and synthesize them using random-effects and multi-level models. Charitable giving is...

Given several studies (inputs) of some phenomenon of interest, each input presents an estimate of a key parameter with an associated estimated precision. The random-effects model used in meta-analysis estimates this parameter based on a decomposition of the error term into within-input noise and...

Political scientists and economists often assert that they understand how economic sanctions function as a foreign policy tool and claim to have backed their theories with compelling statistical evidence. The research puzzle that this article addresses is the observation that despite almost four...

This paper is the first to meta-analyse the literature on the causal effects of school-meal programmes on children's behavioural, health and educational outcomes in developed countries, while addressing potential publication bias and heterogeneity between studies. We create a sample of 2,821...

Rural regions across Europe face a multitude of challenges that will shape their future. These challenges include the transition to a climate-neutral economy, recovery from the social and economic impacts of COVID-19, and more recently, overcoming the impact of the Russian aggression against...
