Week 1: endogeneity & instrumental variables

1 1
.




endogeneity
if the regressors ,
i ,
are exogenous ,
then there's no correlation between the
regressors& the disturbances
When :* E : are mutually correlated (i .
e .


Mi is endogenous) ,
the OLS estimator
is inconsistent


*
causes of endogeneity :




·
unobserved factors :



omitted explanatory variables (omitted variable bias)
non-observable heterogeneity
·

measurement errors



Simultaneitonx
·




depends on
y ,
think : demand & supply
·


selection mechanism
the sample isn't random

·


misspecified dynamics

·
consequences of endogeneity
·


ECYilTli] + cliB ,
so no linear regression
·
OLS I inconsistent
estimator is biased

·
there's correlation between X& E :
PlimiX's = 0
,
EIX * E(XE(IX)] + 0



OLS is biased :



E(BIX] =
B Ex((X(X) "X E(s(X](X)

B + (XX) X E(z(X]

instrumental variables

to find an estimator that is consistent can identify an instrumental variable
,
you
assume that y XB
=
ECel2] 0 where the instrumental variable
+ 3 & =
,
,
I
,
is
an (nxm) matrix (with m > k) & exogenous if :

11) Z is uncorrelated with 2 plim (n2'e) 0
=
:




correlated
(2) 24 X are
sufficiently :
plim (n2'x1 =
Qzx ; rank (Q2x) =
K

13) Z is stable :
plim /n z'z)
=
Q22 ; rank (Q2z) =
m

we have that :
