Sibling comparison designs: bias from non-shared confounders and measurement error.
Twins, full siblings, and half-siblings are increasingly used as comparison groups in matched cohort and matched case-control studies. The "within-pair" estimates acquired through these comparisons are free from confounding from all factors that are shared by the siblings. This has made sibling comparisons popular in studying associations thought likely to suffer confounding from socioeconomic ...
متن کاملCould Vertical Integration Increase Innovation?
This paper studies the e ects of vertical integration on innovation in the chipset and smartphone industries. I formulate and estimate a dynamic structural model of a dominant upstream chipset maker and downstream smartphone handset makers. The two sides make dynamic investment decisions and negotiate chipset prices via Nash bargaining. Using the estimates, I simulate market outcomes should the...
متن کاملAdjustment for Missing Confounders Using External Validation Data and Propensity Scores
Reducing bias from missing confounders is a challenging problem in the analysis of observational data. Information about missing variables is sometimes available from external validation data, such as surveys or secondary samples drawn from the same source population. In principle, the validation data permits us to recover information about the missing data, but the difficulty is in eliciting a...

متن کاملSensitivity analysis and external adjustment for unmeasured confounders in epidemiologic database studies of therapeutics.
BACKGROUND Large health care utilization databases are frequently used to analyze unintended effects of prescription drugs and biologics. Confounders that require detailed information on clinical parameters, lifestyle, or over-the-counter medications are often not measured in such datasets, causing residual confounding bias. OBJECTIVE This paper provides a systematic approach to sensitivity a...
