The consequences of measurement error when estimating the impact of obesity on income
O'Neill, Donal; Sweetman, Olive B. - In: IZA Journal of Labor Economics 2 (2013), pp. 1-20
This paper examines the consequences of using self-reported measures of BMI when estimating the effect of BMI on income for women using both Irish and US data. We find that self-reported BMI is subject to substantial measurement error and that this error deviates from classical measurement...

The role of constant instruments in dynamic panel estimation
Han, Chirok; Kim, Hyoungjong - In: Economics Letters 124 (2014) 3, pp. 500-503
In the standard generalized method of moments estimation of dynamic panel data models, the constant term is usually omitted from instrument sets. As a result, adding a constant to the dependent variable affects the estimates for models without full period dummies. Omitting the constant term from...

Measurement error in imputation procedures
Campos, Rodolfo G.; Reggio, Iliana - In: Economics Letters 122 (2014) 2, pp. 197-202
We study how estimators that are used to impute consumption in survey data are inconsistent due to measurement error in consumption. Previous research suggests instrumenting consumption to overcome this problem. We show that, if additional regressors are present, then instrumenting consumption...

Program substitutability in network television: Evidence from Argentina
Carare, Octavian; Zentner, Alejandro - In: Information Economics and Policy 24 (2012) 2, pp. 145-160
Inference about television program substitutability from the consumer perspective is complicated by unobserved shocks to viewership and endogenous programming choices by television networks. High-frequency changes in program scheduling are commonplace in Argentina. This paper uses this variation...

Chapter 7. Endogeneity in Empirical Corporate Finance 1
Roberts, Michael R.; Whited, Toni M. - 2013
This chapter discusses how applied researchers in corporate finance can address endogeneity concerns. We begin by reviewing the sources of endogeneity—omitted variables, simultaneity, and measurement error—and their implications for inference. We then discuss in detail a number of...
