Groundwater Usage and Strategic Complements: Part I (Instrumental Variables)
Games, 2022 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
Austrian Journal of Statistics, 2016 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 ...

Local instrumental variables [PDF]
, 2001 This paper unites the treatment effect literature and the latent variable literature. The economic questions answered by the commonly used treatment effect parameters are considered. We demonstrate how the marginal treatment effect parameter can be used in a latent variable framework to generate the average treatment effect, the effect of treatment on

Uniform confidence bands for functions estimated nonparametrically with instrumental variables [PDF]
, 2009 This paper is concerned with developing uniform confidence bands for functions estimated nonparametrically with instrumental variables. We show that a sieve nonparametric instrumental variables estimator is pointwise asymptotically normally distributed ...

Does aid fuel corruption? New evidence from a cross-country analysis
Development Studies Research, 2021 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.

Generalized Instrumental Variables
CoRR, 2002 This paper concerns the assessment of direct causal effects from a combination of: (i) non-experimental data, and (ii) qualitative domain knowledge. Domain knowledge is encoded in the form of a directed acyclic graph (DAG), in which all interactions are assumed linear, and some variables are presumed to be unobserved. We provide a generalization of the

Determinantal Generalizations of Instrumental Variables
Journal of Causal Inference, 2018 Linear structural equation models relate the components of a random vector using linear interdependencies and Gaussian noise. Each such model can be naturally associated with a mixed graph whose vertices correspond to the components of the random vector.
