X 2 is an explanator of Y (so, when omitted, it becomes a component of the error term) 2. X 2 is correlated with X 1 (so that X 2 creates a correlation between X 1 and the error term). June 14 - Dr. Pham Thi Bich Ngoc  Sample selection bias may occur when the study subjects are not a random sample of the population either on the dependent variable or on an independent variable.  Examples: ◦ Estimating women’s wage equation.  Measurement error also induces a correlation between our included explanator and the error term.  Instead of observing X i , we observe M i  X i  v i June 14 - Dr. Pham Thi Bich Ngoc Sample selection bias:  Union workers may be less able than non-union workers, and would be earning less than non-union workers had they not joined a union.  b underestimates the wage gain of joining a union. Non-union Union wages Observed earnings of union workers Earnings of non-union workers if they joined the union. Observed earnings of non-union workers Sample Selection Bias b Observed earnings of union workers had they not joined the union.

B June 14 - Dr. Pham Thi Bich Ngoc  An independent variable included in the model is a choice variable, potentially affected by the DV.  Examples: ◦ IV = using a tutor or not; DV = grade ◦ IV = education; DV = income ◦ IV = union status; DV = wages June 14 - Dr. Pham Thi Bich Ngoc June 14 - Dr. Pham Thi Bich Ngoc  Both X and Y are jointly determined  The process that generates Y also generates X at the same time  Because X and Y are determined simultaneously, X can adjust in response to shocks to Y ( e )  Thus X will be correlated with e June 14 - Dr. Pham Thi Bich Ngoc  The classic example of simultaneous causality in economics is supply and demand.  Both prices and quantities adjust until supply and demand are in equilibrium.  A shock to demand or supply causes BOTH prices and quantities to move.  Thus, any attempt to estimate the relationship between prices and quantities (say, to estimate a demand elasticity) suffers from SIMULTANEITY BIAS.  Econometricians have a frequent interest in estimating elasticities resulting from such an equilibrium process. Simultaneity bias is a MAJOR problem.
