Weak Interventions and Instrumental Variables
Traditional experimental design has focused on experimental interventions that take full control of the distribution of treatment variables by means of randomization or clamping. The underlying motiviation, going back to R.A. Fisher, is that such interventions make the treatment variable independent of its causes, including potential latent confounders of the treatment and outcome, and therefor...
متن کاملEstimating Peer Effects in Longitudinal Dyadic Data Using Instrumental Variables
The identification of causal peer effects (also known as social contagion or induction) from observational data in social networks is challenged by two distinct sources of bias: latent homophily and unobserved confounding. In this paper, we investigate how causal peer effects of traits and behaviors can be identified using genes (or other structurally isomorphic variables) as instrumental varia...
متن کاملLasso Methods for Gaussian Instrumental Variables Models
In this note, we propose to use sparse methods (e.g. LASSO, Post-LASSO, √ LASSO, and Post√ LASSO) to form first-stage predictions and estimate optimal instruments in linear instrumental variables (IV) models with many instruments, p, in the canonical Gaussian case. The methods apply even when p is much larger than the sample size, n. We derive asymptotic distributions for the resulting IV estim...
متن کاملOptimal Instrumental Variables Estimation for ARMA Models
In this paper a new class of Instrumental Variables estimators for linear processes and in particular ARMA models is developed. Previously, IV estimators based on lagged observations as instruments have been used to account for unmodelled MA(q) errors in the estimation of the AR parameters. Here it is shown that these IV methods can be used to improve efficiency of linear time series estimators...
متن کاملa new approach to credibility premium for zero-inflated poisson models for panel data
هدف اصلی از این تحقیق به دست آوردن و مقایسه حق بیمه باورمندی در مدل های شمارشی گزارش نشده برای داده های طولی می باشد. در این تحقیق حق بیمه های پبش گویی بر اساس توابع ضرر مربع خطا و نمایی محاسبه شده و با هم مقایسه می شود. تمایل به گرفتن پاداش و جایزه یکی از دلایل مهم برای گزارش ندادن تصادفات می باشد و افراد برای استفاده از تخفیف اغلب از گزارش تصادفات با هزینه پائین خودداری می کنند، در این تحقیق ...
