Notes
- 1.
In contrast to an inter-coder reliability test, an intra-coder reliability does not allow inference on whether different people can understand the codebook in the same way. Therefore, it would have been desirable to also conduct an inter-coder reliability test. This was impossible due to the limited resources available for this project. The coding of the scientific articles requires significant knowledge in the economic literature on minimum wages, and the training of a third person to do the coding would have taken too much time.
- 2.
The three ‘problematic’ variables are used in some descriptive analyses designed to give a broad overview of the domestic and international expert discourses, where a slightly biased representation of the expert discourse due to inaccurate coding would not change the overall picture.
