Endogeneity and non-response bias in treatment evaluation -nonparametric identification of causal effects by instruments
This paper proposes a nonparametric method for evaluating treatment effects in the presence of both treatment endogeneity and attrition/non-response bias, using two instrumental variables. Making use of a discrete instrument for the treatment and a continuous instrument for non-response/attrition, we identify the average treatment effect on compliers as well as the total population and suggest ...
متن کاملTesting Endogeneity with Possibly Invalid Instruments and High Dimensional Covariates
The Durbin-Wu-Hausman (DWH) test is a commonly used test for endogeneity in instrumental variables (IV) regression. Unfortunately, the DWH test depends, among other things, on assuming all the instruments are valid, a rarity in practice. In this paper, we show that the DWH test often has distorted size even if one IV is invalid. Also, the DWH test may have low power when many, possibly high dim...
متن کاملEvaluating local average and quantile treatment effects under endogeneity based on instruments: a review
This paper provides a review of methodological advancements in the evaluation of heterogeneous treatment effect models based on instrumental variable (IV) methods. We focus on models that achieve identification through a monotonicity assumption on the selection equation and analyze local average and quantile treatment effects for the subpopulation of compliers. We start with a comprehensive dis...
متن کاملIdentification-robust inference for endogeneity parameters in linear structural models
We provide a generalization of the Anderson-Rubin (AR) procedure for inference on parameters which represent the dependence between possibly endogenous explanatory variables and disturbances in a linear structural equation (endogeneity parameters). We focus on second-order dependence and stress the distinction between regression and covariance endogeneity parameters. Such parameters have intrin...
متن کاملEndogeneity and Discrete Outcomes
This paper studies models for discrete outcomes which permit explanatory variables to be endogenous. In these models there is a single nonadditive latent variate which is restricted to be locally independent of instruments. The models are incomplete; they are silent about the nature of dependence between the latent variate and the endogenous variable and the role of the instrument in this relat...
