Extreme bounds analysis
Extreme bounds analysis (EBA) is a method in econometrics that checks how results change when you vary which variables are included and what simple linear restrictions you impose on the coefficients. It looks for the most extreme yet plausible estimates of a key parameter by considering different reasonable model specifications. The approach was created by Edward E. Leamer in 1983 and later refined by Clive Granger and Harald Uhlig in 1990. EBA provides upper and lower bounds for the parameter of interest, helping researchers see how robust their findings are to different modeling choices and prior information.
