Happy to see our paper "The Choice of Control Variables: How Causal Graphs Can Inform the Decision" (w/ @beyers_louw & M. Rönkkö) included in the best paper proceedings of the 82nd Annual Meeting of the Academy of Management. #AOM2022 @AOMConnect journals.aom.org/doi/epdf/10.54… 1/5
We present practical recommendations on how to choose suitable control variables for regression analyses – a topic which seems to cause quite some confusion in the management literature (if you ever read the phrase "if in doubt leave out" you know what I'm talking about). 2/5 
The best paper proceedings include abridged versions (max. 6 pages) of selected papers that will be presented at #AOM2022. Our session (#1088) is scheduled for Aug 8 2022 from 8:00AM to 9:30AM local Seattle time. You are all very welcome to join! 3/5
The taxonomy of controls I showed above borrows heavily from this excellent paper by @analisereal, A. Forney & @yudapearl: journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.11… In the final paper, which we will hopefully be able to submit soon, we go deeper into the topic of how you can actually .. 4/5
.. come up with a causal diagram for your research setting. We demonstrate this process with the help of a concrete example that we hope will provide valuable guidance to applied researchers who want to brush up on their causal inference skills. Stay tuned. 5/5
