Discussion: View Thread

Dear Colleagues, 

We are writing to invite you to participate in the following in-person PDW at the upcoming AOM meeting:  

 

 

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 (60 min) 

• Four sources of endogeneity by Dr. Scott Johnson
• Instrumental variables and the Impact Threshold for Confounding Variables (ITCV) by Dr. John Busenbark
• Endogeneity in micro research by Dr. Lindsey Greco
• Endogeneity in panel data by Dr. Michael Withers

 

Part 2: Interactive Session, including Questions from Audience and Discussion between Panelists (40 min) 

 

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 Seattle!
