Instrumental Variables Response to Angrist and Imbens
My 1997 JHR paper neither endorsed nor condemned the use of instrumental variables (IV) to estimate the parameters of economic models. Its main goal was to remind readers of some basic points developed in a series of papers with Richard Robb (1985, 1986), We establish that when responses to "treatment" or a policy intervention vary across persons even after conditioning on observable variables ...
متن کاملAn Introduction to Instrumental Variables
Instrumental variables (IVs) are used to control for confounding and measurement error in observational studies. They allow for the possibility of making causal inferences with observational data. Like propensity scores, IVs can adjust for both observed and unobserved confounding effects. Other methods of adjusting for confounding effects, which include stratification, matching and multiple reg...
متن کاملInstrumental 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 Before and LATEr
The modern formulation of the instrumental variable methods initiated the valuable interactions between economics and statistics literatures of causal inference and fueled new innovations of the idea. It helped resolving the long-standing confusion that the statisticians used to have on the method, and encouraged the economists to rethink how to make use of instrumental variables in policy anal...
متن کاملEndogenous Regressors and Instrumental Variables
This is a more serious departure from the assumptions of the classical linear model than was the case for the Generalized Regression model, which maintained E("jX) = 0 but permitted nonconstant variances and/or nonzero correlations across error terms. Unlike the Generalized Regression model, the classical least squares estimator will be inconsistent for if the errors are correlated with the reg...
