Social Relations Model; ... In this project, we use this IV regression method to estimate the parameters of different types of structural equation models (e.g., latent growth models, multi-level ...

RESULTS: Among 6,232 elderly patients, the instrumental variable estimate indicated an increase in median survival of 33 days and an improvement in 1-year survival of 9% attributable to chemotherapy.

This paper shows how the correlated random effects approach can be extended to linear panel data models when instrumental variables are needed and the panel is unbalanced. We obtain the algebraic ...

The F-test shown in the instrumental variables case is a valid test of the no-regression hypothesis that the true coefficients of all regressors are 0. However, because of the first-stage projection ...

Background: Previous research has suggested that obstetric outcomes are similar for deliveries by family physicians and obstetricians, but many of these studies were small, and none of them adjusted ...
