Conference Agenda

Endogeneity-related issues in empirical research continue to receive increasing academic attention, serving as pivotal benchmarks for quality in many academic journals. In this workshop, we'll delve into the complexities of endogeneity bias, exploring its sources such as the omission of variables, errors in variables, and simultaneous causality. Led by Dr. Ghasem Zaefarian, Associate Professor of Marketing at Leeds University Business School, this workshop will provide attendees with an overview of endogeneity bias and its potential sources. From outlining the nuances of the issue to discussing techniques like instrumental variables and instrument-free approaches, participants will gain insights into mitigating endogeneity bias in their research. Whether you're designing a new research project or analyzing data to uncover cause-and-effect relationships, this methodological workshop is designed to give you a head start with the tools needed to navigate endogeneity bias effectively.
