Unobservable variables in econometrics are represented in one of three ways: by variables contaminated by measurement errors, by proxy variables, or by various manifest indicators and/or causes. This paper contains a discussion of models involving each of these representations, and highlights certain interesting implications that have been insufficiently emphasized or completely unrecognized in the literature.
