Multi-Level Meta-Regression
The final table, Table (4) below presents the multi-level MRA results. We include these results to check
the robustness of our earlier results given that that our coefficients are nested in the individual studies. The
intercept is the only random component included in the 2-level multi-level MRA. In column (2) in the table,
precision is negative and significant at the 1% level of significance. The number of explanatory variables,
product fixed effects and logged dependent variables contribute to higher to t-statistics holding all else con-
stant. The remaining significant variables in the final column of the table, number of years, cross-sectional
