Questions tagged [endogeneity]

Endogeneity refers to a situation where an explanatory variable in a model is correlated with the error term. Endogeneity induces biased parameter estimates. This is an important problem when working with observational data and the goal is causal inference.

Given the model: $y = a + bx + u$, and that $x$ is endogenous, This implies that $E(u|x)\neq 0$. I believe this implies that there are no values for $a$ and $b$ that exist that can make $E(u|x)=0$? So ...

I was confused by the usual definition of endogeneity, in which it is described as regressors being correlated with residuals. I could not come up with code that generates data with such a feature. I ...
