Conditional Classification Trees Using Instrumental Variables
The framework of this paper is supervised learning using classification trees. Two types of variables play a role in the definition of the classification rule, namely a response variable and a set of predictors. The tree classifier is built up by a recursive partitioning of the prediction space such to provide internally homogeneous groups of objects with respect to the response classes. In the...
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 کاملApplied Nonparametric Instrumental Variables Estimation
Instrumental variables are widely used in applied econometrics to achieve identification and carry out estimation and inference in models that contain endogenous explanatory variables. In most applications, the function of interest (e.g., an Engel curve or demand function) is assumed to be known up to finitely many parameters (e.g., a linear model), and instrumental variables are used identify ...
متن کاملInstrumental Variables / Method of Moments Estimation 80
The chapter discusses generalized method of moments (GMM) estimation methods for spatial models. Much of the discussion is on GMM estimation of Cliff-Ord-type models where spatial interactions are modeled in terms of spatial lags. The chapter also discusses recent developments on GMM estimation from data processes which are spatially α-mixing. I.R. Prucha Department of Economics, University of ...
متن کاملExtended instrumental variables estimation for overall effects.
We consider a method for extending instrumental variables methods in order to estimate the overall effect of a treatment or exposure. The approach is designed for settings in which the instrument influences both the treatment of interest and a secondary treatment also influenced by the primary treatment. We demonstrate that, while instrumental variables methods may be used to estimate the joint...
