The main purposeof this paper is (i) to review and extend existing errors-in-variables (EIV) estimation methods, includingclassical method, grouping method, instrumental variable method, mathematical programming method,maximum likelihood method, LISREL method, and the Bayesian approach; (ii) to investigate how EIVestimation methods have been used to finance related studies, such as cost of capital, capital structure,investment equation, and test capital asset pricing models; and (iii) to give a more detailed explanationof the methods used by Almeida et al.
