Howe e , i is also necessa y o examine whe he he model su e s om he classical

This c ea es he possibili y o endogenei y p oblems, he esul o e e se causali y

when he p oposed esea ch models su e om sel -selec ion bias. To es he exis ence o
endogenei y, Da idson and MacKinnon (1993) sugges an augmen ed eg ession es
