1 More on Monotone Instrumental Variables
Econometric analyses of treatment response often use instrumental variable (IV) assumptions to identify treatment effects. The traditional IV assumption holds that mean response is constant across the subpopulations of persons with different values of an observed covariate. Manski and Pepper (2000) introduced monotone instrumental variable (MIV) assumptions, which replace equalities with weak i...
متن کاملSampling Variation, Monotone Instrumental Variables and the Bootstrap Bias Correction
This paper discusses the finite sample bias of analogue bounds under the monotone instrumental variables assumption. By analyzing the bias function, we first propose a conservative estimator which is biased downwards (upwards) when the analogue estimator is biased upwards (downwards). Using the bias function, we then show the mechanism of the parametric bootstrap correction procedure, which can...
متن کاملFat and Bone: An Odd Couple
In this review, we will first discuss the concept of bone strength and introduce how fat at different locations, including the bone marrow, directly or indirectly regulates bone turnover. We will then review the current literature supporting the mechanistic relationship between marrow fat and bone and our understanding of the relationship between body fat, body weight, and bone with emphasis on...
متن کاملInstrumental Variables for Binary Treatments with Heterogeneous Treatment Effects: A Simple Exposition
This note provides a simple exposition of what IV can and cannot estimate in a model with a binary treatment variable and heterogeneous treatment effects. It shows how linear IV is a misspecification of functional form and the reason why linear IV estimates for this model will always depend on the instrument used is because of this misspecification. It shows that if one can estimate the correct...
متن کاملInstrumental Variables: An Econometrician's Perspective
I review recent work in the statistics literature on instrumental variables methods from an econometrics perspective. I discuss some of the older, economic, applications including supply and demand models and relate them to the recent applications in settings of randomized experiments with noncompliance. I discuss the assumptions underlying instrumental variables methods and in what settings th...
