Instrumental Variables Regression with Measurement Errors and Multicollinearity in Instruments
In this paper we obtain a consistent estimator when there exist some measurement errors and multicollinearity in the instrumental variables in a two stage least square estimation of parameters. We investigate the asymptotic distribution of the proposed estimator and discuss its properties using some theoretical proofs and a simulation study. A real numerical application is also provided for mor...
متن کاملSpecification Test for Instrumental Variables Regression with Many Instruments∗
This paper considers specification testing for instrumental variables estimation in the presence of many instruments. The test is similar to the overidentifying restrictions test of Sargan (1958) but the test statistic asymptotically follows the standard normal distribution under the null hypothesis when the number of instruments is proportional to the sample size. It turns out that the new tes...
متن کاملInstrumental Variables Estimation with Many Weak Instruments Using Regularized Jive
We consider instrumental variables regression in a setting where the number of instruments is large and the first stage prediction signal is not necessarily sparse. In particular, we work with models where the number of available instruments may be larger than the sample size and consistent model selection in the first stage may not be possible. Such a situation may arise when there are many we...
متن کاملInference on a Structural Parameter in Instrumental Variables Regression with Weak Instruments
In this paper we consider the problem of making inference on a structural parameter in instrumental variables regression when the instruments are only weakly correlated with the endogenous explanatory variables. Adopting a local-to-zero assumption as in Staiger and Stock (1994) on the coe cients of the instruments in the rst stage equation, the asymptotic distributions of various test statistic...
متن کاملExactly Distribution-free Inference in Instrumental Variables Regression with Possibly Weak Instruments
This paper introduces a rank-based test for the instrumental variables regression model that dominates the Anderson-Rubin test in terms of Þnite sample size and asymptotic power in certain circumstances. The test has correct size for any distribution of the errors with weak or strong instruments. The test has noticeably higher power than the Anderson-Rubin test when the error distribution has t...
