Abstract: Publication bias arises when statistically non-significant results are suppressed or when only results satisfying prior expectations are published. Like most fields, research in industrial relations is vulnerable to publication bias. In this paper, qualitative and quantitative techniques are used in order to detect publication bias in the union-productivity effects literature. We find no evidence of publication bias in this literature, although there does appear to be autoregression in the published results.

Keywords: publication bias; industrial relations; funnel plot; normal quantile plot; rank correlation analysis; autoregression (search for similar items in EconPapers)
