Two Stage Least Squares: A Research Method of Revenue Diversification in Housing Sector
主讲内容:
This research presents findings from a longitudinal study of revenue diversification in nonprofit housing organizations and examines the degree to which organizational mission is related to revenue structure. It sheds light on (a) whether revenue diversification is related to organizational mission and (b) the degree to which there is evidence to support the “crowd-out” or “crowd-in” varies according to organizational mission. It focuses on the affordable housing sector in an attempt to provide a more nuanced understanding of revenue diversification for organizations with various missions that work in complex and varied funding environments.
By presenting findings from a longitudinal study of revenue diversification of nonprofit housing organizations in 27 states, this research helps fill these gaps. It includes measures of state-level policy and funding environments and accounts for federal policies that spurred the creation of housing nonprofits in some states. The research analyzes the revenue data of a stratified random sample of 1,000 nonprofit housing organizations for tax years 2008, 2009 and 2010 using two-stage least squares (2SLS) method. This method improves on previous models by including control variables such as fundraising expenditure as a percentage of total expenditure and the nonprofit’s age. In addition, this research takes endogeneity into consideration. The test of endogeneity is necessary because there is a problem of loss of efficiency when using an instrumental variables method such as 2SLS.
