  • Applying GRADE-CERQual to qualitative evidence synthesis findings-paper 3: how to assess Methodological Limitations.
    Implementation science : IS, 2018
    Co-Authors: Heather Munthe-kaas, Meghan A Bohren, Claire Glenton, Simon Lewin, Jane Noyes, Özge Tunçalp, Andrew Booth, Ruth Garside, Christopher J Colvin, Megan Wainwright
    Abstract:

    The GRADE-CERQual (Confidence in Evidence from Reviews of Qualitative research) approach has been developed by the GRADE (Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation) Working Group. The approach has been developed to support the use of findings from qualitative evidence syntheses in decision-making, including guideline development and policy formulation. CERQual includes four components for assessing how much confidence to place in findings from reviews of qualitative research (also referred to as qualitative evidence syntheses): (1) Methodological Limitations, (2) coherence, (3) adequacy of data and (4) relevance. This paper is part of a series providing guidance on how to apply CERQual and focuses on CERQual's Methodological Limitations component. We developed the Methodological Limitations component by searching the literature for definitions, gathering feedback from relevant research communities and developing consensus through project group meetings. We tested the CERQual Methodological Limitations component within several qualitative evidence syntheses before agreeing on the current definition and principles for application. When applying CERQual, we define Methodological Limitations as the extent to which there are concerns about the design or conduct of the primary studies that contributed evidence to an individual review finding. In this paper, we describe the Methodological Limitations component and its rationale and offer guidance on how to assess Methodological Limitations of a review finding as part of the CERQual approach. This guidance outlines the information required to assess Methodological Limitations component, the steps that need to be taken to assess Methodological Limitations of data contributing to a review finding and examples of Methodological Limitation assessments. This paper provides guidance for review authors and others on undertaking an assessment of Methodological Limitations in the context of the CERQual approach. More work is needed to determine which criteria critical appraisal tools should include when assessing Methodological Limitations. We currently recommend that whichever tool is used, review authors provide a transparent description of their assessments of Methodological Limitations in a review finding. We expect the CERQual approach and its individual components to develop further as our experiences with the practical implementation of the approach increase.

  • L’union fait la force? Evidence for wage discrimination in firms with high diversity
    The Journal of Economic Inequality, 2020
    Co-Authors: Elena Grinza, Stephan Kampelmann, François Rycx
    Abstract:

    Measuring the economic impact of coworkers from different countries of origin sparked intense scrutiny in labor economics, albeit with an uncomfortable Methodological Limitation. Most attempts have involved metrics that eliminate most of the socially and economically relevant heterogeneity among different countries of origin, salient dimension of diversity and critical determinant of labor market outcomes of migrants. The typical examples of such metrics are diversity indicators that divide the firm’s workforce into binary categories such as blacks and whites, foreigners and natives, and non-Europeans and Europeans. We propose an entirely novel approach that constructs a firm-level aggregate measure of diversity that explicitly takes into account differences in socio-economic conditions of migrants’ countries of origin. To do so, we use the United Nations Development Programme’s Human Development Index (HDI), a standard harmonized measure of cross-country variations in levels of socio-economic development that is available for virtually all the countries in the world. By resorting to rich matched employer-employee panel data for Belgium, we use this new aggregate measure of firm-level diversity to estimate firm-level wage equations, which control for a wide range of observable and time-invariant unobservable factors, including variations in labor productivity between firms and within firms over time. The results seem to suggest that the majority of firms do not discriminate against foreigners. However, our findings show that firms with high diversity might broadly discriminate against them. The wage discrimination in high-diversity firms could be alleviated through a stronger presence of collective bargaining and efforts to de-cluster foreigners from low-HDI countries in these firms.
