Convex Combination of Ordinary Least Squares and Two-stage Least Squares Estimators

open access: yes, 2015
In the presence of confounders, the ordinary least squares (OLS) estimator is known to be biased. This problem can be remedied by using the two-stage least squares (TSLS) estimator, based on the availability of valid instrumental variables (IVs). This reduction in bias, however, is offset by an increase in variance.

Inference for Instrumental Variables: A Randomization Inference Approach

open access: yes, 2018
The method of instrumental variables (IV) provides a framework to study causal effects in both randomized experiments with noncompliance and in observational studies where natural circumstances produce as-if random nudges to accept treatment ...

Robust Two-Stage Least Squares: some Monte Carlo experiments [PDF]

open access: yes
The Two-Stage Least Squares (2-SLS) is a well known econometric technique used to estimate the parameters of a multi-equation (or simultaneous equations) econometric model when errors across the equations are not correlated and the equation(s) concerned ...
