Abstract:
The omission of relevant explanatory variables in a regression model generally causes its estimators to be biased. This issue is referred to as omitted variable bias (OVB) and is recognized as one of the primary sources of endogeneity. In turn, the concern of OVB is often a key motivating reason for adopting instrumental variable techniques. These techniques typically involve a two-step procedure that constructs a version of the independent variable that does not feature variance due to the omitted variable. While these techniques can help alleviate the OVB concern, they also have critical assumptions that must be met regarding the instrumental variables employed (i.e., relevance and exogeneity)...

The CARMA Ph.D. Prep Group (PPG) Series, launched in 2021-22, is intended for Ph.D. students in management or related fields. Registrants will be encouraged, though not mandated, to attend each module in our three-part series. We would like to produce content such that each session builds on the previous one(s), over the course of the series.
Overarching themes we would like to weave through our three-part series are (a) research identity; (b) rigor; (c) alignment between research questions, theory, and design; and (d) triangulation.
