Addressing endogeneity in residential location models
… One explanation for this result is price endogeneity, which means that the price is correlated with the error term in the econometric model. This problem is caused either by the simultaneous determination of the supply and the demand for dwelling units in aggregated models, or by omitted …

Endogeneity and Sampling of Alternatives in Spatial Choice Models
… choice models. The omission of attributes causes endogeneity when the unobserved variables are correlated with the measured variables, precluding the consistent estimation of the model parameters. The consistent estimation while sampling alternatives in non-Logit models has been an open problem …

Import demand with domestic price endogeneity : the South African case
This paper uses the imperfect substitutes model to derive an import demand function. However, here domestic prices are endogenised within a simultaneous framework in order to assess the full effect of a currency depreciation. The Johansen multivariate cointegration approach is used to estimate the …

Military spending, economic growth and endogeneity a panel analysis 1988-2010
… of non-linearity, group heterogeneity and endogeneity within the sample. Having estimated and appraised a full sample, it is stratified based upon a range of potentially relevant factors; different levels of income, conflict experience, natural resource abundance, openness and aid. …

Semiparametric models with endogeneity and their application to an empirical demand analysis.
… estimation procedures and a method to address endogeneity. Hence the ultimate goal of this thesis is to establish a novel econometric method for estimating semiparametrics, specifically a PL model and an extended generalised partially linear single-index (EGPLSI) model, with the presence of …

Landing Security: Risk, Endogeneity, and the Archives of Colonialized Planning in Morocco
… form of what I call finding “tolerable levels of endogeneity” – or accepting a certain level of locality and tradition deemed necessary for effective control – then becomes the mechanism through which security logics are embedded in state practice. This translates into an obsession with binding …

The endogeneity of science : the relationship of university research to industry and innovation
… "reverse knowledge spillovers". To address the endogeneity concerns due to selection of industry location, this study exploits the exogenous entry into plant biotechnology R&D by pre-existing agribusiness incumbents in non-biotechnology clusters. I find that after the industry incumbents' entry …

Addressing endogeneity in the relationship between health and employment through a simultaneous equations model
Este documento analiza la relación de doble causalidad entre salud y empleo y su comportamiento dinámico usando datos de Estados Unidos tomados del PSID (Pane Study of Income Dynamics). Este estudio usa dos variables dependientes (Estado de salud auto-reportado y Empleo), las cuales son estimadas …

Multivariate Analysis of Accident Related Outcomes with Respect to Contemporaneous Correlation and Endogeneity: Application of Simultaneous Estimation Techniques
… to account for contemporaneous correlation and endogeneity problems in crash data. Specifically, seemingly unrelated negative binomial models and simultaneous equation models are developed to account for contemporaneous correlation between the disturbance terms across crash type models and to …

Understanding consumer demand in customised pricing environments
… by a dependence between price and demand, or endogeneity of price, since prices are regularly varied in anticipation of changes to demand. This problem is particularly severe in customised pricing environments, where sellers have some freedom to quote different prices for different orders, …

Using panel data to estimate the returns to schooling in South Africa
… are fraught with difficulties arising from the endogeneity of education. Individual effects that cannot be measured, such as ability and family background, cause bias in the estimates because they are correlated with education. A panel data approach is thus potentially superior to a …

Essays on the impact of education on misclassified civic outcomes: studies of Italy and the UK
… unobservables driving education choices (i.e., endogeneity), and the tendency to under-report sensitive topics and over-report civic opinions (i.e., misclassification). This approach allows me to ascertain the extent to which the causal effect of schooling on the civic indicators is either …

The Effect of Education on Earnings and Employment in the Informal Sector in South Africa
… selection corrections to control for both endogeneity of schooling and sector sample selection bias. Quantile regression and piecewise linear spline function methods were applied to deal with the heterogeneity of the returns to schooling. Moreover, the Blinder-Oaxaca decomposition method …
