Note on Anderson's "Causal Models in Educational Research: Nonrecursive Models."

Shapiro, Jonathan

American Educational Research Journal, v16 n4 p347-50 Fall 1979

Contrary to Anderson (EJ 187 936), his rule for equation identification is a necessary but not sufficient condition; furthermore, the choice of two-stage or ordinary least squares depends on results and not on methodological properties of estimators. Modification of Anderson's rule and a means for choosing between estimates is offered. (Author/CP)
