Heterogeneous Treatment Effects: Instrumental Variables without Monotonicity?
Heterogeneous Treatment Effects: Instrumental Variables without Monotonicity? A fundamental identification problem in program evaluation arises when idiosyncratic gains from participation and the treatment decision depend on each other. Imbens and Angrist (1994) were the first to exploit a monotonicity condition in order to identify an average treatment effect parameter using instrumental varia...
متن کاملInstrumental Variable Estimation with a Stochastic Monotonicity Assumption
The instrumental variables (IV) method provides a way to estimate the causal effect of a treatment when there are unmeasured confounding variables. The method requires a valid IV, a variable that is independent of the unmeasured confounding variables and is associated with the treatment but which has no effect on the outcome beyond its effect on the treatment. An additional assumption often mad...
متن کاملThe Derivation of a Latent Threshold Instrumental Variables Model
Measuring the causal eeect of a treatment from observational data is often diicult because the treatment status of a subject may be confounded with non-randomized factors, such as those that aaect a subject's choice of treatment. An approach to remedying this problem is through the use of instrumental variables. We extend the instrumental variables framework proposed by Angrist, Imbens and Rubi...
متن کاملTesting for the Unconfoundedness Assumption Using an Instrumental Assumption
The identification of average causal effects of a treatment in observational studies is typically based either on the unconfoundedness assumption (exogeneity of the treatment) or on the availability of an instrument. When available, instruments may also be used to test for the unconfoundedness assumption. In this paper, we present a set of assumptions on an instrumental variable which allows us...
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...
