An instrumental variable random-coefficients model for binary outcomes
In this paper, we study a random-coefficients model for a binary outcome. We allow for the possibility that some or even all of the explanatory variables are arbitrarily correlated with the random coefficients, thus permitting endogeneity. We assume the existence of observed instrumental variables Z that are jointly independent with the random coefficients, although we place no structure on the...
متن کاملOn falsification of the binary instrumental variable model
Instrumental variables are widely used for estimating causal effects in the presence of unmeasured confounding. The discrete instrumental variable model has testable implications for the law of the observed data. However, current assessments of instrumental validity are typically based solely on subject-matter arguments rather than these testable implications, partly due to a lack of formal sta...
متن کاملInstrumental Variable Models for Discrete Outcomes
Single equation instrumental variable models for discrete outcomes are shown to be set not point identifying for the structural functions that deliver the values of the discrete outcome. Identi ed sets are derived for a general nonparametric model and sharp set identi cation is demonstrated. Point identi cation is typically not achieved by imposing parametric restrictions. The extent of an iden...
متن کاملImproving bias and coverage in instrumental variable analysis with weak instruments for continuous and binary outcomes.
Causal estimates can be obtained by instrumental variable analysis using a two-stage method. However, these can be biased when the instruments are weak. We introduce a Bayesian method, which adjusts for the first-stage residuals in the second-stage regression and has much improved bias and coverage properties. In the continuous outcome case, this adjustment reduces median bias from weak instrum...
متن کاملLack of Identification in Semiparametric Instrumental Variable Models With Binary Outcomes
A parameter in a statistical model is identified if its value can be uniquely determined from the distribution of the observable data. We consider the context of an instrumental variable analysis with a binary outcome for estimating a causal risk ratio. The semiparametric generalized method of moments and structural mean model frameworks use estimating equations for parameter estimation. In thi...
