We present a framework to investigate sample selection effects on the observed BH - bulge relation and its evolution with redshift. We particularly discuss an active fraction bias and a luminosity bias. Applying our framework to literature studies, we cannot find statistically significant evidence for an evolving BH-bulge relation.
