Causal inference with imperfect instrumental variables
Instrumental variables allow for quantification of cause and effect relationships even in the absence of interventions. To achieve this, a number of causal assumptions must be met, the most important of which is the independence assumption, which states ...

Nonparametric instrumental variable estimation [PDF]
In this article, we introduce the commands npiv and npivcv, which implement nonparametric instrumental-variable (NPIV) estimation methods without and with a cross-validated choice of tuning parameters, respectively. Both commands can impose the constraint that the resulting estimated function is monotone.

(1) Background: Previous studies have shown that absenteeism is negatively associated with employee-level performance, but we do not know how exactly absenteeism affects enterprise-level performance.

Instrumental Variables Regression with Weak Instruments [PDF]
Summary: This paper develops asymptotic distribution theory for single-equation instrumental variables regression when the partial correlations between the instruments and the endogenous variables are weak, here modeled as local to zero. Asymptotic representations are provided for various statistics, including two-stage least squares (TSLS) and limited

Groundwater Usage and Strategic Complements: Part I (Instrumental Variables)
We test whether the decisions in a common-pool resource game are better modeled game-theoretically as strategic substitutes or complements using an individual-level dataset of groundwater usage that accounts for 3% of US irrigated agriculture. Based on a

Instrumental Weighted Variables
A motivation for the classical Instrumental Variables and the reasons for here-proposed way of their robustification are discussed. The conditions for the ?n-consistency, the existence of Bahadur representation and the asymptotic normality of the ...

Does aid fuel corruption? New evidence from a cross-country analysis
This study estimates the effect of foreign aid on corruption using a Two-Step Least Squares method. We address endogeneity using instrumental variables that capture geographical and cultural proximities between donor and recipient countries.
