I'm doing a critique of an Economics paper, and I want to have my critique about omitted variable bias. … And is this still omitted variable bias given the change in significance? …

I have a question about omitted variable bias in logistic and linear regression. Say I omit some variables from a linear regression model. … Omitted variables will bias the coefficients on included variables even if the omitted variables are uncorrelated with the included variables. …

I was just reading the Wikipedia page on omitted variable bias: [wiki for OVB][1], and I was confused by one of the main claims of the page, which is that the expected omitted variable bias is 0 iff the … In the general case where our regressors are not centered, mean-0 variables, can't we have omitted variable bias even if the regressors are all uncorrelated? …

The MCMClogit algorithm cannot handle the model involving full interaction, meaning the Bayesian method is subject to omitted variable bias. 2. … and does omitted variable bias mean that I should include every significant interaction even if it causes multicollinearity? …

If I use both in my model, I will suffer from multicollinearity, but if I don't put both I will suffer from omitted variable bias? …

One big problem in OLS regression is omitted variable bias, which is normally reflected with explanatory variables being collinear with the error term. … So now, I am asking myself if this is correct or if a VAR-Model can still be subject to an omitted variable bias through other forms and if so why? …

Why is omitted variable bias not a major problem in time series analysis? …

I have a model that suggests that variable X causes both Y and Z. When I regress Y on X, or Z on X, I get positive and significant coefficients as expected. … Question 1: is this an omitted variable bias? Question 2: is it legitimate to regress Z on Y and X to test whether the relationship between Z and Y is spurious? …

In which case it does make sense that most time series studies aren't concerned with omitted variable bias. … Is it fair to say that omitted variable bias would be something we are concerned with in this specific case? Maybe the answer is obvious to most of you but just looking to verify my thoughts. …

For omitted variable bias to occur when a variable is left out of a regression, there is one axiom and one condition that must be fulfilled: (Axiom) By definition, the coefficient of the variable has … (Condition) The omitted variable must be correlated with some regressor, which means the regressor will be correlated with the error term, violating gauss markov assumptions and generating bias. …

I see it is often quoted that the omitted variable bias formula is $$ \text{Bias}\left(\widehat{\beta_1}\right) = \beta_2 \cdot \text{Corr}\left(X_2,X_1\right) $$ where $\widehat{\beta_1}$ is the estimated … coefficient in the biased model, $\beta_2$ is the true coefficient of the omitted variable $X_2$ in the full model. …

In the context of linear models, I can see why omitted variable bias may matter, as often we are interested in causal effects. … Such coefficients would capture the effect of the variable itself, as well as that of omitted variables, and should intuitively lead to similar predictions as the model with unbiased coefficients. …

I am looking for a proof that omitted variable bias (OVB) in OLS regression may lead to endogeneity. … bias in linear regression Omitted Variable Bias, verification in Gretl But this is not exactly what I want. …

Is there a difference between omitted variable bias and confounding bias in linear models? … To my knowledge, when investigating the causal effect of $X$ on $Y$, a confounder is a variable $Z$ that is causally related to both $X$ and $Y$ with a corresponding dag: $Z\rightarrow X\rightarrow Y \ …

My question is, it seems that not including the variable "mistakes" will not fit the definition of an omitted variable for the purposes of "omitted variable bias". … Is there not then some kind of bias here? How could that be corrected? …
