Week 1: endogeneity & instrumental variables

.
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
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] =

instrumental variables
to find an estimator that is consistent can identify an instrumental variable
,
you
assume that y XB

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) =

we have that :
