The authors provide a systematic treatment of the major problems involved in using regression analysis. They clearly and concisely discuss the consequences of violating the assumptions of the regression model, procedures for detecting violations, and strategies for dealing with these problems.
Where an assumption of unidirectionality in causal effects is
unrealistic, 'recursive' models cannot be used, and more complex
'nonrecursive' models are necessary. Unfortunately, many
nonrecursive models (unlike recursive models) are 'unidentified',
which makes meaningful parameter estimation impossible. Even when
they are identified, it would be inappropriate to use OLS
regression techniques (appropriate for recursive models) for the
purpose of estimation. The concept of identification, and the
factors that lead to it are explained; and various tests for
determination are provided. Illustrations from a variety of social
science disciplines are used throughout the book.
