Workshop: Understanding and Treating Sample Selection Bias: Conceptual and Empirical Strategies for Criminological Research

Session Submission Type: Workshop

Abstract

Analytical issues involving sample selection are pervasive in criminology. This workshop provides an introductory overview of theory and practice on sample selection models. It reviews prevalent sources of bias, discusses the effects of selection on model estimates, and covers common statistical approaches that can be used to help address selection bias in criminological research. Examples of different modeling strategies are demonstrated using statistical routines in Stata 14.
