2 Econ Econometric Review 2 4 Instrumental Variables 4.1 Single endogenous variable One continuous instrument Instrumental Variables (IV) estimation is used when a model Y = β 0 + β 1 X + u (1) has an endogenous X, that is, whenever Cov(X, u) 0 c Nicole M.

3 Econ Econometric Review 3 In other words, IV can be used to address the problem of omitted variable bias For example, we are concerned that educ in a wage equation may be an endogeneous variable and the OLS coefficients over-estimate the returns to education. use c:\data\card; /* sample of men in 1976 as in Wooldridge example 15.4 */. reg lwage educ exper expersq black south smsa smsa66 reg661-reg668 ; Source SS df MS Number of obs = F( 15, 2994) = Model Prob > F = Residual R-squared = Adj R-squared = Total Root MSE =.37228

5 Econ Econometric Review 5 Additionally, IV can be used to solve the classic errors-in-variables problem But what is an instrumental variable? In order for a variable, Z, to serve as a valid instrument for X, the following must be true Assumption 1: Exclusion Restriction The instrument must be exogenous, that is, uncorrelated with the error term, Cov(Z, u) = 0 Assumption 2: Instrument Relevance The instrument must be correlated with the endogenous variable X that is, Cov(Z, X) 0
6 Econ Econometric Review 6 How do we know that Z is a valid instrument? The main problem is that we have to use common sense and economic theory to decide if it makes sense to assume Cov(Z, u) = 0 In the case of multiple instruments, we can use the overid test below to rule out the validity of some instruments However, we can test whether Cov(Z, X) 0 We simply test H 0 : π 1 = 0 in the regression X = π 0 + π 1 Z + v (2)
7 Econ Econometric Review 7 This regression is called the first-stage regression Card (1995) has used proximity to a four-year college nearc4 as instrument for education. reg educ nearc4 exper expersq black south smsa smsa66 reg661-reg668 ; Source SS df MS Number of obs = F( 15, 2994) = Model Prob > F = Residual R-squared = Adj R-squared = Total Root MSE = educ Coef.

9 Econ Econometric Review 9 Rule-of-thumb: you need to worry about weak instruments if the firststage F-statistic is less than 10 Card has also tested the proximity of a 2-years college as second instrument nearc2 In the reduced form equation, the regression of wages on the instruments Y = α 0 + α 1 Z + υ (3) Both instruments turn out to be statistically significant

11 Econ Econometric Review 11 reg reg reg reg reg reg reg _cons If assumption 2 is satisfied Cov(Z, X) 0, the correlation between education and the instruments should entail a correlation between wages and the instruments But assumption 1 requires that this last correlation Cov(Z, Y ) arises only from Cov(Z, X) and not the correlation with other unobserved factors Cov(Z, u) = 0
12 Econ Econometric Review 12 We can see this clearly in the derivation β IV 1 Given equation (3) and our assumptions 1 and 2 Cov(Z, Y ) = Cov[Z, (β 0 + β 1 X + u)] = β 1 Cov(Z, X) + Cov(Z, u), so β IV 1 = Cov(Z, Y ) Cov(Z, X) Equivalently, this yields the conditions for a method-of-moments estimator E(u) = E(Y β 0 β 1 X) = m 1 = 0 E(Zu) = E[Z(Y β 0 β 1 X)] = m 2 = 0
13 Econ Econometric Review 13 Either way, the IV estimator for β 1 is β IV 1 = ni=1 (Z i Z)(Y i Ȳ ) ni=1 (Z i Z)(X i X) (4). ivreg lwage (educ=nearc4) exper expersq black south smsa smsa66 reg661-reg668 ; Instrumental variables (2SLS) regression Source SS df MS Number of obs = F( 15, 2994) = Model Prob > F = Residual R-squared = Adj R-squared = Total Root MSE = lwage Coef.

15 Econ Econometric Review 15 Notice that β IV educ = > β OLS educ = (see LATE effect below) Which estimator should we prefer IV or OLS? When the regressor is endogenous, Cov(X, u) 0, IV estimation is consistent, while OLS is inconsistent, plim β OLS 1 = β 1 + Corr(X, u) σu σ X (5) But when R 2 < 1 in the first stage, IV standard errors are larger than the OLS The stronger the correlation between Z and X (strong instrument), the smaller the IV standard errors
16 Econ Econometric Review 16 On the other hand, if the instrument is weak, the IV standard errors will be large When the instrument is not really exogenous, i.e. if our assumption that Cov(Z, u) = 0 is false, Then the IV estimator will be inconsistent, too plim β IV 1 = β 1 + Corr(Z, u) Corr(Z, X) σu σ X (6) We will prefer IV if Corr(Z, u)/corr(z, X) < Corr(X, u).
17 Econ Econometric Review 17 Potential problems with IV estimation: IV can be very biased (much more than OLS), when the instrument is not truly exogenous Even instruments that are randomly assigned can be invalid if they affect the outcome is some way (not double-blind) Not always representative of the whole population, but may capture a local average treatment effect (LATE) e.g. proximity to school may affect more lower income students, compulsory schooling may affect marginal students Specification searching and publication bias lead to higher IV estimates since they have larger standard errors.
18 Econ Econometric Review Single endogenous variable more than one continuous instrument Consider the following structural model Y = β 0 + β 1 X 1 + β 2 X 2 + u 1 (7) where X 1 is an endogeneous variable and X 2 is an exogenous variable Suppose now that we have two exogenous variables excluded from equation (7) X 1 = π 0 + π 1 Z 1 + π 2 Z 2 + v (8) where Z 1 and Z 2 are valid instruments in that they do not appear in the structural model and are uncorrelated with the structural error term u 1, but are correlated with X 1
19 Econ Econometric Review 19 With more than one instrument, the IV estimator is also called the two-stage least squares (2SLS) estimator In our returns to education example, we can add proximity to a twoyear college nearc2. reg educ nearc4 nearc2 exper expersq black south smsa smsa66 reg661-reg668 ; Source SS df MS Number of obs = F( 16, 2993) = Model Prob > F = Residual R-squared = Adj R-squared = Total Root MSE = 1.94 educ Coef.

22 Econ Econometric Review 22 But the best instrument is a linear combination of all of the exogenous variables, including X 2 X 1 = π 0 + π 1 Z 1 + π 2 Z 2 + π 3 X 2 + v 2 We can estimate X 1 by regressing X 1 on Z 1, Z 2 and X 2 If we use X 1 as an instrument for X 1 in the structural model, we will get same coefficient as 2SLS (see ivreg2 below) The 2 SLS expression comes from the fact that this estimation strategy is done in two steps

25 Econ Econometric Review 25 Some economists like to interpret the first stage of 2SLS as a way to purge X 1 from its correlation with u 1 before doing the second stage regression The method extends to multiple endogenous variables (say k), but we need at least as many excluded exogenous variables (instruments) as there are endogenous variables in the structural equation The standard IV(one instrument) and 2SLS(one linear combination of many instruments) estimators are special cases of the GMM estimator, where l instruments will give us a set of l moments E[Z j u] = m j = 0, j = 1,... l.
26 Econ Econometric Review 26 In a just-identified model (l=k), GMM will be identical to IV, but when there are more instruments than endogeneous variables (l > k), we will need a weighing matrix that accounts for the correlations among the moments conditions when errors are not i.i.d. When we use ivreg2 with the option gmm, STATA will compute 2SLS residuals in a first step and use these residuals to compute a weighing matrix that will give the most efficient feasible estimate. Thus for overidentified models, the GMM approach makes more efficient use of the information in the l moment conditions than the standard 2SLS approach which reduces them to k instrument, and it is heteroskedascity-efficient.

30 Econ Econometric Review 30 The idea of the Hausman test is to see if the estimates from OLS and IV are different If X 1 is endogenous, then v 2 (from the first stage equation) and u 1 from the structural model will be correlated This test is easily done by including the residual from the first stage in the OLS regression Y = β 0 + β 1 X 1 + β 2 X 2 + δˆv 2 + u 1 and testing H 0 : δ = 0 that there is no correlation between the residuals and the X s using a t statistic

35 Econ Econometric Review 35 Now is our instrument correlated with the error term? If there is just one instrument for our endogenous variable, we cannot test to see whether the instrument is uncorrelated with the error: the model is just identified However, if we have multiple instruments, it is possible to test the overidentifying restrictions to see if some of the instruments are correlated with the error if we are pretty sure that one instrument is excluded With ivreg2, STATA will perform the test for you
36 Econ Econometric Review 36 The idea is to regress the predicted residual û 1 on all exogenous variables, including the instrumental variables If the instruments are in fact exogenous, the coefficients on the instruments and on the included exogenous variables in a regression on û 1 should all be zero This is formally tested with either a chi-square statistics or a J-statistic to test H 0 that all IVs are uncorrelated with u 1.. ivreg2 lwage (educ=nearc2 nearc4) exper expersq black south smsa smsa66 reg661-reg668 ; Instrumental variables (2SLS) regression
