Abstract: Many studies attempt to answer similar research questions. For instance, you may have results from studies asking, “What is the association between unemployment and mental health?” Or you may have results from studies asking, “How does motherhood affect women’s wages?” The results from different studies may be inconclusive or conflicting. Meta-analysis is a statistical technique for combining the results from several similar studies. It allows us to explore the variation across studies and, when appropriate, provide a single estimate for the effect size of interest. In this presentation, I show how to use the meta suite of commands to perform meta-analysis in Stata.
