This appendix is based on my working paper “Recognition and Disclosure of Intangible Assets—A Meta-Analysis Review” co-authored with Anne Jeny (ESSEC Business School) and provides a detailed description of the meta-analysis techniques we used.
The documentation of the Meta-essentials ExcelTM software developed by Suurmond, van Rhee, and Hak (2017)and available online at https://www.erim.eur.nl/research-facilities/meta-essentials/ was extremely useful for our work. We appreciate these authors’ commitment to open science.
