Simulation Studies for Weak or Invalid Control Variables

5.5 KB of simulation results examining econometric models where the control variable (CP) is weak or invalid, with parameters T=50 and N=5. The dataset was authored by Shiming Hao and last updated on June 3, 2026. It is shared under a CC-BY-4.0 license on figshare.

Use Cases

• Testing the robustness of econometric estimators based on the described weak control variable scenario.
• Benchmarking new methods for handling invalid instruments against the provided simulation results.
• Educational demonstrations of the bias introduced by weak or invalid control variables in panel data models.

Strengths

• The dataset is small (5.5 KB), facilitating quick download and inspection.
• It has a clear, specific research context focused on a known econometric problem.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
