Instrumental Variables Regression with Measurement Errors and Multicollinearity in Instruments
In this paper we obtain a consistent estimator when there exist some measurement errors and multicollinearity in the instrumental variables in a two stage least square estimation of parameters. We investigate the asymptotic distribution of the proposed estimator and discuss its properties using some theoretical proofs and a simulation study. A real numerical application is also provided for mor...
متن کاملInstrumental Variables Estimation with Many Weak Instruments Using Regularized Jive
We consider instrumental variables regression in a setting where the number of instruments is large and the first stage prediction signal is not necessarily sparse. In particular, we work with models where the number of available instruments may be larger than the sample size and consistent model selection in the first stage may not be possible. Such a situation may arise when there are many we...
متن کاملEstimation 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 کاملSpecification Test for Instrumental Variables Regression with Many Instruments∗
This paper considers specification testing for instrumental variables estimation in the presence of many instruments. The test is similar to the overidentifying restrictions test of Sargan (1958) but the test statistic asymptotically follows the standard normal distribution under the null hypothesis when the number of instruments is proportional to the sample size. It turns out that the new tes...
