Identification-robust nonparametric inference in a linear IV model

چکیده
For a linear IV regression, we propose two new inference procedures on parameters of endogenous variables that are robust to any identification pattern, do not rely first-stage equation, and account for heteroskedasticity unknown form. Building Bierens (1982), first an Integrated Conditional Moment (ICM) type statistic constructed by setting the value under null hypothesis. The ICM procedure tests at same time coefficient specification model. We then adopt conditionality principle condition set statistics informs strength. Our uniformly control size irrespective They powerful nonlinear form link between instruments competitive with existing in simulations application.

Identification-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 کاملA Note on Optimal Inference in the Linear IV Model
This paper considers tests and con dence sets (CSs) concerning the coe¢ cient on the endogenous variable in the linear IV regression model with homoskedastic normal errors and one right-hand side endogenous variable. The paper derives a nite-sample lower bound function for the probability that a CS constructed using a two-sided invariant similar test has in nite length and shows numerically t...
متن کاملRobust Nonparametric Inference for the Median
We consider the problem of constructing robust nonparametric confidence intervals and tests of hypothesis for the median when the data distribution is unknown and the data may contain a small fraction of contamination. We propose a modification of the sign test (and its associated confidence interval) which attains the nominal significance level (probability coverage) for any distribution in th...

متن کاملRobust Nonparametric Testing for Causal Inference in Observational Studies
We consider the decision problem of making causal conclusions from observational data. Typically, using standard matched pairs techniques, there is a source of uncertainty that is not usually quantified, namely the uncertainty due to the choice of the experimenter: two different reasonable experimenters can easily have opposite results. In this work we present an alternative to the standard non...
