Model averaging with covariates that are missing completely at random

Missing data is a common problem in economics studies. We propose using Mallows model averaging (MMA) to deal with this problem, which has an important advantage over its competitors in that it asymptotically achieves the lowest possible squared error. A simulation study in comparison with existing methods strongly favors the MMA estimator.
