Endogeneity refers to a situation in which a variable in a statistical model is correlated with the error term. This can lead to biased and inconsistent estimates of the parameters in the model, making it difficult to draw valid conclusions from the analysis. Endogeneity is a common problem in many fields of research, particularly in economics and social sciences, and researchers often use various techniques such as instrumental variables or control functions to address this issue. By accounting for endogeneity, researchers can improve the accuracy and reliability of their results and ensure that their findings are not being influenced by confounding factors.
