Bias01:22

Bias

4.2K
Bias refers to any tendency that prevents a question from being considered unprejudiced. In research, bias occurs when one outcome or answer is selected or encouraged over others in sampling or testing. Bias can occur during any research phase, including study design, data collection, analysis, and publication.
In statistics, a sampling bias is created when a sample is collected from a population, and some members of the population are not as likely to be chosen as others (remember, each member...

Study Design in Statistics

8.0K
A study design is a set of techniques that allow a researcher to collect and analyze data from different variables defined for a specific research problem. Statistics is commonly for effective study design and more robust experiments,
Does aspirin reduce the risk of heart attacks? Is one brand of fertilizer more effective at growing roses than another? Is fatigue as dangerous to a driver as the influence of alcohol? Questions like these are answered using randomized experiments with proper...

Types of Biopharmaceutical Studies: Controlled and Non-Controlled Approaches

125
Biopharmaceutical studies constitute a vital field aiming to enhance drug delivery methods and refine therapeutic approaches, drawing upon diverse interdisciplinary knowledge. In research methodologies, the choice between controlled and non-controlled studies significantly influences the study's reliability and accuracy.
Non-controlled studies, commonly employed for initial exploration, lack a control group, rendering them susceptible to biases and external influences. In contrast,...

Bias in Epidemiological Studies

246
Biases can arise at various stages of research, from study design and data collection to analysis and interpretation. Recognizing and addressing these biases is essential to ensure the validity and reliability of epidemiological findings.Broadly speaking, biases in epidemiology fall into three main categories: selection bias, information bias, and confounding. A more detailed description of possible biases is:

Regression Toward the Mean01:52

Regression Toward the Mean

6.3K
Regression toward the mean (“RTM”) is a phenomenon in which extremely high or low values—for example, and individual’s blood pressure at a particular moment—appear closer to a group’s average upon remeasuring. Although this statistical peculiarity is the result of random error and chance, it has been problematic across various medical, scientific, financial and psychological applications. In particular, RTM, if not taken into account, can interfere when...

Group Design02:01

Group Design

8.9K
The most basic experimental design involves two groups: the experimental group and the control group. The two groups are designed to be the same except for one difference— experimental manipulation. The experimental group gets the experimental manipulation—that is, the treatment or variable being tested—and the control group does not. Since experimental manipulation is the only difference between the experimental and control groups, we can be sure that any differences between...

This summary is machine-generated.

Elite economic journals increasingly shape development discourse on trade. This study reveals three biased trade narratives—"trade championing," "ignorance," and "microfounding benefits"—perpetuated in development research.

Area of Science:

  • Economics
  • Development Studies
  • International Trade

Background:

  • Citation analysis indicates growing influence of top economic journals on development discourse.
  • This trend has significant implications for how international trade is discussed in development studies.
  • Elite economic narratives may shape development research agendas and outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze the influence of high-impact economic journals on trade discourse within development studies.
  • To identify and examine dominant trade narratives and their underlying biases in elite economic literature.
  • To investigate the transmission of these narratives into development research.

Main Methods:

  • Bibliometric analysis of over 400 papers from high-impact economic journals (1997-2017).
  • Citation analysis of five leading development studies journals.
  • Case study approach focusing on the reception of trade debates in World Development.

Main Results:

  • Three core trade narratives identified: "trade championing," "Ignorance in a world full of nails," and "microfounding trade benefits."
  • These narratives reflect biases within elite economic discourse on trade.
  • Evidence suggests effective transmission of these biased narratives into development research via citation networks.

Conclusions:

  • The dominance of specific economic narratives risks marginalizing alternative perspectives in development-related trade research.
  • Understanding these biases is crucial for a more nuanced and inclusive development discourse on trade.
  • Further research should explore the impact of these narratives on policy and practice.
