Unbiased? Forget about that, doesn't exist in ML for counts (in general).
It sounds to me like you have a meta-analysis problem. It is not simple because you are going to have to deal with the composite link issue, because you have different response scales.
Rabe-Hesketh and Skrondal have an article in Psychometrika on this and should have sample code and the full cite on http://gllamm.org.

Hello Jay,
thanks for your fast answer.
I still read something about poisson/negative binomial regression analysis and the "poisson"/"nbreg"-commands in the Long book.
My problem is an adequate group comparision of coefficients (in different models; or with a pooled dataset using interactions of the group variable and all other independent variables).
I have three different studies and I want to compare the results between them.
I do not know any procedure which gives me unbiased estimates.
Sebastian
