Identification of a nonseparable model under endogeneity using binary proxies for unobserved heterogeneity

Williams, Benjamin D. - In: Quantitative Economics 10 (2019) 2, pp. 527-563

In this paper, I study identification of a nonseparable model with endogeneity arising due to unobserved heterogeneity. Identification relies on the availability of binary proxies that can be used to control for the unobserved heterogeneity. I show that the model is identified in the limit as...

Background indicators

Raunig, Burkhard - In: Econometrics 7 (2019) 2, pp. 1-17

This paper assesses instrumental variable (IV) estimation of the effect of a latent variable in a linear … model when a background indicator replaces the latent variable. It turns out that IV estimates are inconsistent in many …
