Estimation with Many Instrumental Variables∗
Using many valid instrumental variables has the potential to improve efficiency but makes the usual inference procedures inaccurate. We give corrected standard errors, an extension of Bekker (1994) to nonnormal disturbances, that adjust for many instruments. We find that this adujstment is useful in empirical work, simulations, and in the asymptotic theory. Use of the corrected standard errors ...
متن کاملInstrumental variables estimation with flexible distributions
Abstract Instrumental variables are often associated with low estimator precision. This paper explores efficiency gains which might be achievable using moment conditions which are nonlinear in the disturbances and are based on flexible parametric families for error distributions. We show that these estimators can achieve the semiparametric efficiency bound when the true error distribution is a ...
متن کاملApplied 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 کاملInstrumental Variables / Method of Moments Estimation 80
The chapter discusses generalized method of moments (GMM) estimation methods for spatial models. Much of the discussion is on GMM estimation of Cliff-Ord-type models where spatial interactions are modeled in terms of spatial lags. The chapter also discusses recent developments on GMM estimation from data processes which are spatially α-mixing. I.R. Prucha Department of Economics, University of ...
متن کاملExtended instrumental variables estimation for overall effects.
We consider a method for extending instrumental variables methods in order to estimate the overall effect of a treatment or exposure. The approach is designed for settings in which the instrument influences both the treatment of interest and a secondary treatment also influenced by the primary treatment. We demonstrate that, while instrumental variables methods may be used to estimate the joint...
