Inference regarding multiple structural changes in linear models with endogenous regressors☆

چکیده
This paper considers the linear model with endogenous regressors and multiple changes in the parameters at unknown times. It is shown that minimization of a Generalized Method of Moments criterion yields inconsistent estimators of the break fractions, but minimization of the Two Stage Least Squares (2SLS) criterion yields consistent estimators of these parameters. We develop a methodology for estimation and inference of the parameters of the model based on 2SLS. The analysis covers the cases where the reduced form is either stable or unstable. The methodology is illustrated via an application to the New Keynesian Phillips Curve for the US.

Estimating and Testing Multiple Structural Changes in Models with Endogenous Regressors∗
We consider the problem of estimating and testing for multiple breaks in a single equation framework with regressors that are endogenous, i.e., correlated with the errors. First, we show based on standard assumptions about the regressors, instruments and errors that the second stage regression of the instrumental variable procedure involves regressors and errors that satisfy all the assumptions...
متن کاملTesting for causal effects in a generalized regression model with endogenous regressors∗
A unifying framework to test for causal effects in non-linear models is proposed. We consider a generalized linear-index regression model with endogenous regressors and no parametric assumptions on the error disturbances. To test the significance of the effect of an endogenous regressor, we propose a test statistic that is a kernel-weighted version of the rank correlation statistic (tau) of Ken...
متن کاملInstrumental Variables Estimation of Nonparametric Models with Discrete Endogenous Regressors
This paper presents new instrumental variables estimators for nonparametric models with discrete endogenous regressors. The model speci cation is su ciently general to include structural models, triangular simultaneous equations and certain models of measurement error. Restricting the analysis to discrete endogenous regressors is an integral component of the analysis since a similar model with ...
متن کاملConfidence sets for covariances between errors and endogenous regressors with possibly weak instruments ∗
In this paper, we propose a procedure based on projection techniques for building exact confidence sets for covariances between errors and endogenous regressors in linear structural models. This procedure is robust to weak instruments and can be used as exogeneity test for endogenous regressors. We characterize the necessary and sufficient conditions under which these confidence sets are bounde...
متن کاملThe finite sample properties of break point estimated in Linear Models
In a recent paper, Bai and Perron(1998) present a comprehensive treatment of issues related to the estimation of linear models with multiple structural changes. They consider the properties of the estimators, including the estimates of the break dates, and the construction of the tests that allow inference to be made about the presence of structural change and the number of breaks. Following th...
