Title
Meta-research in environmental science and economics (Research)
Abstract
Multiple empirical studies have raised concerns about the reliability of
published empirical findings in various fields, including economics,
psychology, and the biomedical sciences. One possible explanation for
the unreliability of published empirical findings is selective reporting,
such as p-hacking or publication bias. The extent of selective reporting
in the environmental sciences, however, is largely unexplored. This
PhD thesis aims to analyse the reliability of published empirical
findings in the environmental sciences. The ultimate goal is to
strengthen the evidence base for evidence-based policymaking.
