摘要
A recent meta-analysis synthesized findings from >50 studies on why some communities adopt more climate change policies than others. I use meta-regression analysis with the same data to provide a more accurate picture of how population, education, and voting patterns shape climate policy adoption, and to demonstrate the problem of publication bias in planning and policy research. After detecting and correcting for publication bias in the data, I find that the effects of population, education, and voting patterns on climate policy adoption are much smaller than previously-reported. I recommend that researchers take the problem of publication bias more seriously.
