Oh No! I Got the Wrong Sign! What Should I Do?

Peter Kennedy

The Journal of Economic Education, 2005, vol. 36, issue 1, 77-92

Abstract: Getting a "wrong" sign in empirical work is a common phenomenon. Remarkably, econometrics textbooks provide very little information to practitioners on how this problem can arise. The author exposits a long list of ways in which a wrong sign can occur and how it might be corrected.
