An instrumental variable random-coefficients model for binary outcomes
In this paper, we study a random-coefficients model for a binary outcome. We allow for the possibility that some or even all of the explanatory variables are arbitrarily correlated with the random coefficients, thus permitting endogeneity. We assume the existence of observed instrumental variables Z that are jointly independent with the random coefficients, although we place no structure on the...
متن کاملA review of instrumental variable estimators for Mendelian randomization
Instrumental variable analysis is an approach for obtaining causal inferences on the effect of an exposure (risk factor) on an outcome from observational data. It has gained in popularity over the past decade with the use of genetic variants as instrumental variables, known as Mendelian randomization. An instrumental variable is associated with the exposure, but not associated with any confound...
متن کاملEdgeworth Approximations for Semiparametric Instrumental Variable Estimators and Test Statistics
We establish the validity of higher order asymptotic expansions to the distribution of a version of the nonlinear semiparametric instrumental variable considered in Newey (1990) as well as to the distribution of a Wald statistic derived from it. We employ local polynomial smoothing with variable bandwidth, which includes local linear, kernel, and [a version of] nearest neighbour estimates as sp...
متن کاملInstrumental Variable Models for Discrete Outcomes
Single equation instrumental variable models for discrete outcomes are shown to be set not point identifying for the structural functions that deliver the values of the discrete outcome. Identi ed sets are derived for a general nonparametric model and sharp set identi cation is demonstrated. Point identi cation is typically not achieved by imposing parametric restrictions. The extent of an iden...
متن کاملImproving bias and coverage in instrumental variable analysis with weak instruments for continuous and binary outcomes.
Causal estimates can be obtained by instrumental variable analysis using a two-stage method. However, these can be biased when the instruments are weak. We introduce a Bayesian method, which adjusts for the first-stage residuals in the second-stage regression and has much improved bias and coverage properties. In the continuous outcome case, this adjustment reduces median bias from weak instrum...
