Management research increasingly recognizes omitted variables as a primary source of
endogeneity that can induce bias in empirical estimation. Methodological scholarship on the …

Omitted variables create endogeneity and thus bias the estimation of the causal effect of
measured variables on outcomes. Such measured variables are ubiquitous and include …

Although an increasing number of articles examining statistical control variables exist, the
use of control variables receives less scrutiny than other methodological topics, and …

Empirical research in operations management (OM) has made rapid strides in the last 30
years, and increasingly, OM researchers are leveraging methods used in the econometrics …

Addressing endogeneity can be a challenging task given the different sources of
endogeneity and their impacts on empirical results. While premier business journals …

An expanding number of methodological resources, reviews, and commentaries both
highlight endogeneity as a threat to causal claims in management research and note that …

We discuss seven methodological improvements that would stimulate important
advancements in management research. We refer to these improvements as 'wishes' that we …

Due to the nature of the data employed and of the concepts tested, standard tests for
mediating variables in management research can often violate an assumption on which …

In this paper we use simulations to examine how endogeneity biases the results reported by
ordinary least squares (OLS) regression. In addition, we examine how instrumental variable …

Endogeneity bias represents a critical issue for the analysis of cause and effect
relationships. Although the existence of endogeneity can produce severely biased results, it …
