IMMAQ is organizing a workshop aimed at researchers of its three research entities (ISBA, CORE and IRES). The objective of this multidisciplinary workshop is to gather researchers on the topic of endogeneity issues that arise frequently in empirical work. Indeed, Endogeneity problems in statistical estimations are faced by researchers from all IMMAQ research centers.
Endogeneity may come from different sources: omitted variables, reverse causality, measurement error, sample selection, etc. The goal of the workshop is to understand how this problem is tackled from different perspectives in economics and statistics, and it aims at giving the opportunity to share knowledge and thoughts about how to deal with endogeneity problems.
