Spurious correlation due to mutual influence from a third, common, causative variable, is harder to avoid: the model must be specified such that there is a theoretical reason to believe that no such underlying causative variable has been omitted from the model ; in particular, underlying time trends of both the dependent variable and the independent ( potentially causative ) variable must be controlled for by including time as another independent variable.
