Understanding agricultural land leasing in Ireland: a transaction cost approach
Formal written land leasing contracts offer an alternative to land purchase for those farmers wishing to expand their land area and provide greater security relative to informal short-term rental agreements and are particularly important for beginning ...

Two-stage least squares and indirect least squares algorithms for simultaneous equations models
This paper analyzes the solution of simultaneous equations models. Efficient algorithms for the two-stage least squares method using QR-decomposition are developed and studied. The reduction of the execution time when the structure of the matrices in each equation is exploited is analyzed theoretically and experimentally. An efficient algorithm for the

Two-Stage Least Squares with a Randomly Right-Censored Outcome [PDF]
This note develops a simple two-stage least squares (2SLS) procedure to estimate the causal effect of some endogenous regressors on a randomly right censored outcome in the linear model. The proposal replaces the usual ordinary least squares regressions of the standard 2SLS by weighted least squares regressions.

TSLS and LIML Estimators in Panels with Unobserved Shocks
The properties of the two stage least squares (TSLS) and limited information maximum likelihood (LIML) estimators in panel data models where the observables are affected by common shocks, modelled through unobservable factors, are studied for the case ...

Two-stage least squares model averaging for instrumental variable models with exogenous variables
Instrumental variable (IV) methods are widely used to address unmeasured confoundings in structural equation models. In this paper, we focus on the settings where a possibly large number of instruments and a weak correlation between the instruments and ...

We reconstituted Synechocystis glycogen synthesis in vitro from purified enzymes and showed that two GlgA isoenzymes produce glycogen with different architectures: GlgA1 yields denser, highly branched glycogen, whereas GlgA2 synthesizes longer, less‐branched chains.
