selection bias

Response-Based Sampling for Binary Choice Models With Sample Selection

Sample selection models attempt to correct for non-randomly selected data in a two-model hierarchy where, on the first level, a binary selection equation determines whether a particular observation will be available for the second level (outcome equation). If the non-random selection mechanism induced by the selection equation is ignored, the coefficient estimates in the outcome equation may be severely biased.
