Weak instruments in instrumental variables regression: Theory and practice

I Andrews, JH Stock, L Sun - Annual Review of Economics, 2019 - annualreviews.org
When instruments are weakly correlated with endogenous regressors, conventional
methods for instrumental variables (IV) estimation and inference become unreliable. A large …

[HTML][HTML] Instrument-free inference under confined regressor endogeneity and mild regularity

JF Kiviet - Econometrics and Statistics, 2023 - Elsevier
The instrument-free approach adopts flexible bounds on the correlation between regressors
and disturbances, instead of exploiting instruments presupposing their asymptotic …

Regression discontinuity applications with rounding errors in the running variable

Y Dong - Journal of Applied Econometrics, 2015 - Wiley Online Library
Many empirical applications of regression discontinuity (RD) models use a running variable
that is rounded and hence discrete, eg age in years, or birth weight in ounces. This paper …

What to do when you can't use'1.96'Confidence Intervals for IV

DS Lee, J McCrary, MJ Moreira, JR Porter, L Yap - 2023 - nber.org
To address the well-established large-sample invalidity of the+/-1.96 critical values for the t-
ratio in the single variable just-identified IV model, applied research typically qualifies the …

Identification‐and singularity‐robust inference for moment condition models

DWK Andrews, P Guggenberger - Quantitative Economics, 2019 - Wiley Online Library
This paper introduces a new identification‐and singularity‐robust conditional quasi‐
likelihood ratio (SR‐CQLR) test and a new identification‐and singularity‐robust Anderson …

Generic results for establishing the asymptotic size of confidence sets and tests

DWK Andrews, X Cheng, P Guggenberger - Journal of Econometrics, 2020 - Elsevier
This paper provides a set of results that can be used to establish the asymptotic size and/or
similarity in a uniform sense of confidence sets and tests. The results are generic in that they …

Inference in instrumental variable models with heteroskedasticity and many instruments

F Crudu, G Mellace, Z Sándor - Econometric Theory, 2021 - cambridge.org
This paper proposes novel inference procedures for instrumental variable models in the
presence of many, potentially weak instruments that are robust to the presence of …

A more powerful subvector Anderson Rubin test in linear instrumental variables regression

P Guggenberger, F Kleibergen… - Quantitative …, 2019 - Wiley Online Library
We study subvector inference in the linear instrumental variables model assuming
homoskedasticity but allowing for weak instruments. The subvector Anderson and Rubin …

Weak‐instrument robust inference for two‐sample instrumental variables regression

J Choi, J Gu, S Shen - Journal of Applied Econometrics, 2018 - Wiley Online Library
Instrumental variable (IV) methods for regression are well established. More recently,
methods have been developed for statistical inference when the instruments are weakly …

Inference in IV models with clustered dependence, many instruments and weak identification

JW Ligtenberg - arXiv preprint arXiv:2306.08559, 2023 - arxiv.org
Data clustering reduces the effective sample size down from the number of observations
towards the number of clusters. For instrumental variable models this implies more restrictive …
