Sentence construction?
Can someone please check the construction of my sentence?
"So, intuitively this suggests that the fixed effects estimator effectively controls for all time-invariant omitted variables that drive the dependent variable (without the researcher having to know/identify these omitted variables), which reduces concerns over omitted variable bias."

Largely this looks OK to me. If "fixed effects estimator" means "estimator of fixed effects", I suggest writing as "fixed-effects estimator" to avoid possible reading as "effects estimator that is fixed". In formal writing I would avoid separating words with slashes.
