Hierarchical Bayes Models with Many Instrumental Variables

Chamberlain, Gary; Imbens, Guido - 2021

In this paper, we explore Bayesian inference in models with many instrumental variables that are potentially weakly … the Angrist-Krueger (AK, 1991) analysis of returns to schooling using instrumental variables formed by interacting quarter … actual instrumental variables. Using a hierarchical model with the AK data, we find a posterior distribution for the …
