Valet av kontrollvariabler i regressionsanalys

Seminariet hålls på engelska. 

Control variables are often used when randomization is not feasible and natural experiments are not available or hard to find. As such, “non‐experimental designs are sometimes presented as the only feasible way to conduct research in social science” (Narita et al., 2023, p. 1). Thus, whereas there are often better strategies for causal identification—as exemplified by the increase of articles using experiments, natural experiments, and instrumental variables in the journal Leadership Quarterly – control variables remain a fallback option for many researchers.
