Social Work Research and Endogeneity Bias

Investigating Endogeneity Bias in Conjoint Models

The use of adaptive designs in conjoint analysis has been shown to lead to an endogeneity bias in part-worth estimates using sampling experiments. In this paper, we re-examine the endogeneity issue in light of the likelihood principle. The likelihood principle asserts that all relevant information in the data about model parameters is contained in the likelihood function. We show that adhering ...

Trial Registration: Understanding and Preventing Reporting Bias in Social Work Research

Randomized controlled trials are considered the gold standard for evaluating social work interventions. However, published reports can systematically overestimate intervention effects when researchers selectively report large and significant findings. Publication bias and other types of reporting biases can be minimized through prospective trial registration that is now an accepted part of medi...

Social desirability Bias in Software Piracy Research

Most behavioural aspects of software piracy research are a subset of ethical research. Measures of ethical behaviour in research may be subject to biases in response to the social desirability of behaviours. Few studies in the area of software piracy have explicitly addressed this issue. Literature on social desirability bias (SDB) reports on three ways to address response bias: approaches to r...

Bayesian Endogeneity Bias Modeling ∗ Gabriel Montes - Rojas † Antonio

We propose to model endogeneity bias using prior distributions of moment conditions. The estimator can be obtained both as a method-of-moments estimator and in a Ridge penalized regression framework. We show the estimator’s relation to a Bayesian estimator.
