Applied Nonparametric Instrumental Variables Estimation
Instrumental variables are widely used in applied econometrics to achieve identification and carry out estimation and inference in models that contain endogenous explanatory variables. In most applications, the function of interest (e.g., an Engel curve or demand function) is assumed to be known up to finitely many parameters (e.g., a linear model), and instrumental variables are used identify ...
متن کاملSpecification Testing in Nonparametric Instrumental Variables Estimation
In nonparametric instrumental variables estimation, the function being estimated is the solution to an integral equation. A solution may not exist if, for example, the instrument is not valid. This paper discusses the problem of testing the null hypothesis that a solution exists against the alternative that there is no solution. We give necessary and sufficient conditions for existence of a sol...
متن کاملInference in Nonparametric Instrumental Variables with Partial Identification
This paper develops methods for hypothesis testing in a nonparametric instrumental variables (IV) setting within a partial identification framework. I construct and derive the asymptotic distribution of a test statistic for the hypothesis that at least one element of the identified set satisfies a conjectured restriction. This procedure can be used to test for features of the model that may be ...
متن کاملInstrumental Variables Estimation of Nonparametric Models with Discrete Endogenous Regressors
This paper presents new instrumental variables estimators for nonparametric models with discrete endogenous regressors. The model speci cation is su ciently general to include structural models, triangular simultaneous equations and certain models of measurement error. Restricting the analysis to discrete endogenous regressors is an integral component of the analysis since a similar model with ...
متن کاملNonparametric instrumental variables for identification of block-oriented systems
A combined, parametric-nonparametric identification algorithm for a special case of NARMAX systems is proposed. The parameters of individual blocks are aggregated in one matrix (including mixed products of parameters). The matrix is estimated by an instrumental variables technique with the instruments generated by a nonparametric kernel method. Finally, the result is decomposed to obtain parame...
