Covariate Measurement and Endogeneity
نویسنده
چکیده
The effects of improving covariate measurement are investigated when the covariate is endogenous even in the absence of measurement error. Reducing measurement error can exacerbate the finite sample bias of Two-Stage Least Squares. An application reveals this is of practical importance. JEL: C36, C81

Simultaneous Monitoring of Multivariate Process Mean and Variability in the Presence of Measurement Error with Linearly Increasing Variance under Additive Covariate Model (RESEARCH NOTE)
In recent years, some researches have been done on simultaneous monitoring of multivariate process mean vector and covariance matrix. However, the effect of measurement error, which exists in many practical applications, on the performance of these control charts is not well studied. In this paper, the effect of measurement error with linearly increasing variance on the performance of ELR contr...
متن کاملTwo-Stage Bayesian Model Averaging in Endogenous Variable Models.
Economic modeling in the presence of endogeneity is subject to model uncertainty at both the instrument and covariate level. We propose a Two-Stage Bayesian Model Averaging (2SBMA) methodology that extends the Two-Stage Least Squares (2SLS) estimator. By constructing a Two-Stage Unit Information Prior in the endogenous variable model, we are able to efficiently combine established methods for a...
متن کاملMinimum Distance Estimation of Randomly Censored Regression Models with Endogeneity
This paper proposes minimum distance estimation procedures for the slope coefficients and location parameter in randomly censored regression models that are used in duration and competing risk models. The proposed procedure generalizes existing work in terms of weakening the restrictions imposed on the distribution of the error term and the censoring variable. Examples of such generalizations i...
متن کاملChild Height, Household Resources, and Household Survey Methods
The impact of endogeneity and measurement error on the estimated effect of household economic resources on child height is demonstrated. These econometric problems contribute to uncertainty in the literature about the significance of income effects on child health and nutrition. Results are based on a household survey from Papua New Guinea, where repeated within-year observations on households ...
متن کاملThe Effect of Measurement Errors on the Performance of Variable Sample Size and Sampling Interval Control Chart
The effect of measurement errors on adaptive and non-adaptive control charts has been occasionally considered by researchers throughout the years. However, that effect on the variable sample size and sampling interval (VSSI) control charts has not so far been investigated. In this paper, we evaluate the effect of measurement errors on the VSSI control charts. After a model development, the effe...
