Hi All:
I am having trouble determining if the below problem violates any
statistical assumptions. Pardon the simplistic notation.
Eq. 1
DV1=Dem.+IV2 +IV3+IV4+u
Eq. 2
DV2(which is IV2 in first equation)=Dem.+IV5...IV7+u
Eq.3
DV3(which is IV3 is first equation)=Dem.+IV8...IV10+u
Eq. 4
DV4(which is IV4 in the first equation)=Dem.+IV11...IV13+u
Basically, Democracy is an IV in the first equation, but is also used as
an IV in the other equations (along with various other different/new
IVs) to explain the IVs in the first equation.
Again, does this problem violate any statistical properties/assumptions,
and if so what are the appropriate fixes? It seems somewhat similar to a
simultaneous equations problem, but I don't think it is since there are
no (non)recursive relationships.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Ben Appel
