On the (mis)use of composite indices : with applications in political economy

Millimet, Daniel L.; Paloyo, Alfredo R. - 2026

Empirical researchers often replace latent constructs with composite indices, treating this as a neutral data-processing step. We prove this is a consequential identification choice. Our (near) impossibility theorem demonstrates that no linear index can guarantee consistent estimates of all...
