Included-variable bias

Read Original

The article discusses regression models and the bias that arises when comparing coefficients from models with different sets of variables. It argues that the common term 'omitted-variable bias' implies an incorrect directionality, and introduces the symmetric concept of 'included-variable bias'. The piece critiques the gold-standard approach to model selection and emphasizes defining the target of estimation.
