Answer
Heckman correction is a statistical technique used to address self-selection bias. Self-selection bias occurs when the subjects in a study are not randomly selected, but rather are self-selected. This can lead to biased results, as the subjects who choose to participate in the study may be different from those who do not. Heckman correction uses a statistical model to estimate the effect of self-selection on the results of the study.
