Fixed and random e ects 6 and re3a in samples with a large number of individuals n. To test this hypothesis, we need to find a set of instrumental variables that are correlated with the suspect variable ip but not with the error. In the presence of omitted confounders, endogeneity, omitted variables, or a misspecified model, estimates of predicted values and effects of interest are inconsistent. This new econometrics text deals specifically with the use of econometric software. In this example we write sp03 0 or sp031 or sp033 or sp03 7 in the if condition.
