It occasionally happens in economic analyses that the correctly
specified model contains variables for which no observed data has been
collected. When the data in a linear regression model are crosssectional
it is possible, under certain conditions on the nature of the
variables, to estimate the independent effects of a specific set of
explanatory variables on the dependent variable. A procedure for doing
this is presented.
A commonly used model of reenlistment behavior, for which the data
base is cross-sectional, satisfies the requisite conditions. This
permits the estimation of the independent effect of the military wage
on reenlistment rate, as an illustration of the proposed procedure.
