    Posted 30 days ago

    Dear Colleagues, 

     

    We invite you to participate in the following PDW at the upcoming AOM meeting:  

     

    Endogeneity: Myths, Legends, and Facts – 5th Annual

    When: July 26th (Saturday) 9:00 – 11:00 am CEST

    Where: Bella Center: Hall D- D2

    Link: https://cdmcd.co/LE95w6

    Organizers: Dr. Elle Hyunjung Yoon & Dr. Daniel Gamache 

     

    Guest Panelists:

    Dr. John Busenbark (U Notre Dame)  

    Dr. Trevis Certo (Arizona State U)

    Dr. Abhinav Gupta (U Washington)

    Dr. Aaron Hill (U Florida)

     

    Management scholars are increasingly concerned about biases in empirical analyses from endogeneity. When endogeneity is present, any model that does not account for the source of endogeneity will provide biased coefficient estimates. Thus, scholars strive to address endogeneity concerns in their research. Yet, scholars do not share a common understanding of endogeneity and often implement questionable solutions in response to their perceived concerns.

     

    In this PDW, we aim to provide a learning opportunity about different topics related to endogeneity and how to address it correctly. This PDW will be divided into two parts. Part 1 consists of a selection of presentations on different issues related to endogeneity. More specifically:  

     

    Part 1: 4 Expert Panel Presentations

    • Foundational elements of endogeneity and bridging the methods-practice divide by Dr. Aaron Hill
    • The variety and function of two-stage models by Dr. John Busenbark
    • Endogeneity in the context of panel/nested data by Dr. Trevis Certo
    • Editor's view of endogeneity in the field by Dr. Abhinav Gupta

     

    Part 2: Interactive Session, including Questions from Audience and Discussion between Panelists 

    • ·       Everyone is invited to stay for this Q&A and discussion forum. The panel will be presented with questions from the audience. Additionally, the panel will be provided with discussion statements about endogeneity that may be a myth, a fact, or a legend.
    • ·       Additionally – submit your questions today! Is there something you have heard about endogeneity that you are unsure about? Are you wondering if it is a myth, a fact, or a legend? If so, please consider submitting any endogeneity-related questions you have for panelists by July 20th to yoon@iastate.edu

    With this PDW, we hope that scholars will understand endogeneity better and learn when and how to account for endogeneity in producing high-quality, credible, and replicable scientific research. No pre-registration is needed, and this PDW is in-person only.

     

    We are looking forward to meeting you soon in Copenhagen!
