Bounding Omitted Variable Bias Using Auxiliary Data: With an Application to Estimate Neighborhood Effects
利用辅助数据界定遗漏变量偏差:邻里效应估计应用
This paper develops a method for estimating a superset that contains the linear projection coefficients of an outcome variable y onto a full set of covariates (x,z,w), when the available data are split across two independent sources. One dataset identifies the joint distribution of y and a subset of covariates (z,w), while the other identifies the joint distribution of (x,z). This framework is motivated by applications where administrative data lacks information on…
