Generalized Instrumental Variables
This paper concerns the assessment of direct causal effects from a combination of: (i) non experimental data, and (ii) qualitative do main knowledge. Domain knowledge is en coded in the form of a directed acyclic graph (DAG), in which all interactions are assumed linear, and some variables are presumed to be unobserved. We provide a generalization of the well-known method of Instrumental Var...
متن کاملEstimating and Testing Non-Linear Models Using Instrumental Variables
In many empirical studies, researchers seek to estimate causal relationships using instrumental variables. When few valid instruments are available, researchers typically estimate models that impose a linear relationship between the dependent variable and the endogenous variable, even when the true model is likely to be non-linear. In the presence of non-linearity, ordinary least squares (OLS) ...
متن کاملBootstrapping Errors-in-Variables Models
The bootstrap is a numerical technique, with solid theoretical foundations, to obtain statistical measures about the quality of an estimate by using only the available data. Performance assessment through bootstrap provides the same or better accuracy than the traditional error propagation approach, most often without requiring complex analytical derivations. In many computer vision tasks a reg...
متن کاملGeneralized instrumental variable models
The ability to allow for flexible forms of unobserved heterogeneity is an essential ingredient in modern microeconometrics. In this paper we extend the application of instrumental variable (IV) methods to a wide class of problems in which multiple values of unobservable variables can be associated with particular combinations of observed endogenous and exogenous variables. In our Generalized In...
