VERIFICATION OF DATA SOURCES, ACCURACY OF STATISTICAL ANALYSES, AND CONSISTENCY IN INTERPRETING ECONOMIC INDICATORS TO ENSURE THE RELIABILITY

Abstract

Verifying data sources, ensuring accurate statistical analyses, and
maintaining consistent interpretation of economic indicators are essential practices
in economic research to uphold reliability and credibility. This abstract explores the
significance of these processes in enhancing the trustworthiness of economic studies.
By rigorously verifying data sources through cross-referencing and peer review,
ensuring accuracy in statistical analyses with methodological integrity and error
checks, and maintaining consistency in interpreting economic indicators with
standard definitions and contextual understanding, researchers can bolster the
reliability of their findings. Adhering to transparent methodologies, seeking peer
validation, and upholding publication ethics further contribute to the credibility of
economic research, fostering informed decision-making and a deeper understanding
of economic trends and phenomena
