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 کاملSpecification Testing in Nonparametric Instrumental Variables Estimation
In nonparametric instrumental variables estimation, the function being estimated is the solution to an integral equation. A solution may not exist if, for example, the instrument is not valid. This paper discusses the problem of testing the null hypothesis that a solution exists against the alternative that there is no solution. We give necessary and sufficient conditions for existence of a sol...
متن کاملA New Paradigm: A Joint Test of Structural and Correlation Parameters in Instrumental Variables Regression When Perfect Exogeneity is Violated
Currently, the commonly employed instrumental variables strategy relies on the knifeedge assumption of perfect exogeneity for valid inference. To make reliable inferences on the structural parameters under violations of exogeneity one must know the true correlation between the structural error and the instruments. The main innovation in this paper is to identify an appropriate test in this cont...
متن کاملNonlinear and Nonparametric Regression and Instrumental Variables
We consider regression when the predictor is measured with error and an instrumental variable is available. The regression function can be modeled linearly, nonlinearly, or nonparametrically. Our major new result shows that the regression function and all parameters in the measurement error model are identified under relatively weak conditions, much weaker than previously known to imply identif...
