Multicollinearity and Model Misspecification

open access: yesSociological Science, 2016
Multicollinearity in linear regression is typically thought of as a problem of large standard errors due to near-linear dependencies among independent variables. This problem can be solved by more informative data, possibly in the form of a larger sample.

Behavioral Coping With Food Price Inflation: Patterns Among U.S. Households

open access: yesApplied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Recent food price inflation has placed substantial pressure on household budgets, food security, and mental well‐being. Using Household Pulse Survey data, we combine k‐modes clustering and Double Machine Learning to identify distinct household coping groups and examine differences in how households respond to rising food prices across groups ...

System Misspecification Testing and Structural Change in the Demand for Meats

open access: yesJournal of Agricultural and Resource Economics, 1995
A misspecification testing strategy designed to ensure that the statistical assumptions underlying a system of equations are appropriate is outlined. The system tests take into account information in, and interactions between, all equations in the system
