Genetic markers as instrumental variables [PDF]
Journal of Health Economics, 2016 The use of genetic markers as instrumental variables (IV) is receiving increasing attention from economists, statisticians, epidemiologists and social scientists. Although IV is commonly used in economics, the appropriate conditions for the use of genetic variants as instruments have not been well defined. The increasing availability of biomedical data,

An introduction to instrumental variables for epidemiologists [PDF]
International Journal of Epidemiology, 2000 Instrumental-variable (IV) methods were invented over 70 years ago, but remain uncommon in epidemiology. Over the past decade or so, non-parametric versions of IV methods have appeared that connect IV methods to causal and measurement-error models important in epidemiological applications.

Testability of Instrumental Variables in Linear Non-Gaussian Acyclic Causal Models [PDF]
Entropy, 2022 This paper investigates the problem of selecting instrumental variables relative to a target causal influence X→Y from observational data generated by linear non-Gaussian acyclic causal models in the presence of unmeasured confounders.

Latent class instrumental variables and the monotonicity assumption [PDF]
Emerging Themes in Epidemiology, 2020 A key aspect of the article by Lousdal on instrumental variables was a discussion of the monotonicity assumption. However, there was no mention of the history of the development of this assumption.

The Modified Instrumental Variable (MIV) for Endogenous Instrumental Variables
Journal of Statistical Theory and Applications (JSTA)This article introduces an estimator aimed at reducing the inconsistency of instrumental variable estimates when the instrument is not fully exogenous.

Instrumental variables, local instrumental variables and control functions [PDF]
We consider the identification of the average treatment effect in models with continuous endogenous variables whose impact is heterogeneous. We derive a testable restriction that allows us to assess the degree of unobserved heterogeneity. Our analysis uses assumptions relating to the Local Instrumental Variables (LIV) approach and the control function ...

Cointegration Tests Using Instrumental Variables
International Journal of Empirical Economics, 2022 This paper proposes new cointegration tests based on instrumental variable (IV) estimation. An important property of our tests is that the asymptotic distribution remains standard normal (or Chi-square) regardless of the number of regressors, differing ...

REndo: Internal Instrumental Variables to Address Endogeneity
Journal of Statistical Software, 2023 Endogeneity is a common problem in any causal analysis. It arises when the independence assumption between an explanatory variable and the error in a statistical model is violated.

Algorithm for adaptive observation based on method of instrumental variables [PDF]
E3S Web of Conferences, 2023 When the input signal and the output value of the object of control cannot be measured accurately, the state vector is estimated. The instrumental variables (IVs) method is a commonly used parameter estimation method [1-10].

Incarceration and mortality in the United States
SSM: Population Health, 2021 The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has spotlighted the role of America's overcrowded prisons as vectors of ill health, but robust analyses of the degree to which high rates of incarceration impact population-level health outcomes remain scarce. In this paper,
