This volume deals with the increasingly complicated forms of linear models: single-equity models, multi-equation models, and models with unobserved variables and measurement error.

Abstract

Linear models attempt to state causal laws, thought to be operative in one or more groups, organizations, or nations. These models represent the researcher's idea about the structure according to which explanatory or independent variables combine to produce variations in response (or dependent) variables. This volume deals with the increasingly complicated forms of linear models: single-equation models, multi-equation models, and models with unobserved variables and measurement error.
