On the Interpretation of Instrumental Variables in the Presence of Specification Errors
نویسندگان
چکیده
The method of instrumental variables (IV) and the generalized method of moments (GMM), and their applications to the estimation of errors-in-variables and simultaneous equations models in econometrics, require data on a sufficient number of instrumental variables that are both exogenous and relevant. We argue that, in general, such instruments (weak or strong) cannot exist.

Economical Design of Double Variables Acceptance Sampling With Inspection Errors
The paper presents an economical model for double variable acceptance sampling with inspection errors. Taguchi cost function is used as acceptance cost while quality specification functions are normal with known variance. An optimization model is developed for double variables acceptance sampling scheme at the presence of inspection errors with either constant or monotone value functions. The m...
متن کاملInstrumental 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 کاملOptimal Process Adjustment under Inspection Errors Considering the Cycle Time of Production
Process adjustment, also known as process targeting, is one of the classical problems in the field of quality control and production economics. In the process adjustment problem, it is assumed that process parameters are variables and the aim is to determine these parameters such that certain economic criteria are optimally satisfied. The aim of this paper is to determine the optimal process ad...
متن کاملMonetary Policy Reaction Functions in Iran: An Extended Kalman Filter Approach
Estimates of instrumental rules can be utilized to describe central bank's behavior and monetary policy stance. In the last decade, considerable attention has been given to time-varying parameter (TVP) specification of monetary policy rules. Constant-parameter reaction functions likely ignore the impact of model uncertainty, shifting preferences and nonlinearities of policymaker's choices. This...
متن کاملPerformance of cumulative count of conforming chart with variable sampling intervals in the presence of inspection errors
In high quality industrial processes, the control chart is design based on cumulative count of conforming (CCC) items is very useful. In this paper, the performance of CCC-r chart with variable sampling intervals (CCC-rVSI chart) in the presence ofinspectionerrors isinvestigated. The efficiency of CCC-rVSI chart is compared with CCC-r chart with fixed sampling interval (CC...
