Dear Colleagues,
We invite you to participate in the following PDW at the upcoming AOM meeting:
Endogeneity: Myths, Legends, and Facts – 4th Annual
When: August 9th (Friday) from 3:15 PM to 5:15 PM CT
Where: Swissotel: Vevey 1
Organized by Elle Hyunjung Yoon and Daniel Gamache
Guest Panelists:
Dr. John Busenbark (U Notre Dame)
Dr. Scott Johnson (Iowa State U)
Dr. Timothy Quigley (U Georgia)
Dr. Sarah Wolfolds (Cornell U)
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
- Endogeneity in the field by Dr. Timothy Quigley
- Post-estimation tests, sample size, instrumental variable techniques by Dr. Sarah Wolfolds
- Employing basic simulations to quantify estimator sensitivity to endogeneity by Dr. John Busenbark
- A review and agenda for the methodology-practice divide affecting micro and macro research by Dr. Scott Johnson
Part 2: Interactive Session, including Questions from Audience and Discussion between Panelists
· 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 August 5th 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 Chicago!
