Averaged Instrumental Variables Estimators
We develop averaged instrumental variables estimators as a way to deal with many weak instruments. We propose a weighted average of the preliminary k-class estimators, where each estimator is obtained using different subsets of the available instrumental variables. The averaged estimators are shown to be consistent and to satisfy asymptotic normality. Furthermore, its approximate mean squared e...
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 کاملTwo-Sample Instrumental Variables Estimators
Following an influential article by Angrist and Krueger (1992) on two-sample instrumental variables (TSIV) estimation, numerous empirical researchers have applied a computationally convenient two-sample two-stage least squares (TS2SLS) variant of Angrist and Krueger’s estimator. In the two-sample context, unlike the single-sample situation, the IV and 2SLS estimators are numerically distinct. W...
متن کاملII.D Many Random Variables
With more than one random variable, the set of outcomes is an N -dimensional space, Sx = {−∞ < x1, x2, · · · , xN < ∞}. For example, describing the location and velocity of a gas particle requires six coordinates. • The joint PDF p(x), is the probability density of an outcome in a volume element dx = ∏N i=1 dxi around the point x = {x1, x2, · · · , xN}. The joint PDF is normalized such that px(...
متن کاملESTIMATORS BASED ON FUZZY RANDOM VARIABLES AND THEIR MATHEMATICAL PROPERTIES
In statistical inference, the point estimation problem is very crucial and has a wide range of applications. When, we deal with some concepts such as random variables, the parameters of interest and estimates may be reported/observed as imprecise. Therefore, the theory of fuzzy sets plays an important role in formulating such situations. In this paper, we rst recall the crisp uniformly minimum ...
