Research is hard
When you don't know
How can you test
Your hypothesis?
Is it a cause, or merely correlation?
Variables change
And then you won't know.

(I ask myself)
Shall I run OLS?
Not sure how, I confess
I'll regress it using an IV
Won't this reduce endogeneity?

(Ponder this)
I can't write Matlab code
Or read a Stata "Do"
And I can't even find the EML
I'm guessing that it's probably just as well

Research is hard
Estimation unknown
When you don't know
Econometrics
And variables change
They're unknown
And then you won't know
Estimation unknown

Research is hard

When you don't know

(Tell me this)
When will they provide?
Can't some metrics be applied?
I'd take the course if they would offer one
Too bad my training has been left undone

When you don't know
Econometrics
And variables change
They're unknown
And then you won't know
Estimation unknown

Research is hard (Oh it's so hard)
Research is hard (Yes it's so hard)

Research is hard (Oh it's so hard)
Research is hard (Yes it's so hard)

Research is hard (Oh it's so hard)
Research is hard (Yes it's so hard)

Research is hard (Oh it's so hard)
Research is hard (Yes it's so hard)
