How Should We Understand \"Ceteris Paribus\" in Multiple Regression?
Open any empirical paper that uses multiple regression, and you will most likely see this sentence in the section interpreting the coefficients:
Why Does OLS Produce Just One Number, Yet We Call It \"Unbiased\" and \"Efficient\"?
Anyone who has studied introductory econometrics has experienced this cognitive moment—
What Is Multicollinearity? How to Detect, Test, and Address It?
Suppose you run a wage regression with years of education as the key variable. All coefficients look normal. Then a reviewer suggests you 'add another control variable'—you do so, adding 'mother's years of education.'
What is the relationship between endogenous and exogenous explanatory variables? When should you worry about endogeneity?
$$ \\text{Wage} = \\beta0 + \\beta1 \\cdot \\text{Education} + \\beta2 \\cdot \\text{Experience} + \\varepsilon $$
How to Interpret Coefficient Confidence Intervals in Stata Regression Output? What Is Their Relationship with p-values?

Everyone Cares About Causality, So What Is the Point of "Correlational" Data Analysis?
If you follow methodological debates in the social sciences in recent years, you will surely feel a powerful trend—causal inference has come to dominate the discourse almost entirely.

2026 Q1 latest report
进入 2026 年，顶刊实证在「大规模行政数据 + 清晰识别」的范式上延续，同时统计与机器学习期刊（JASA、JBES）与经济理论顶刊（Econometrica）在因果推断上的对话更密集：一方面，交错 DID、事件研究与非参数偏差讨论仍是发表与复现的焦点；另一方面，面向高维协变量与复杂响应的 DML、随机实验中异质性效应的后处理推断、以及针对未测混杂的敏感度分析框架，正在成为连接 AI 科研工具与可发表计量标准的关键接口。
