How Linear Models Can Mask Non-Linear Causal Relationships. An Application to Family Size and Children's Education

Mogstad, Magne; Wiswall, Matthew - 2009

Many empirical studies specify outcomes as a linear function of endogenous regressors when conducting instrumental variable (IV) estimation. We show that commonly used tests for treatment effects, selection bias, and treatment effect heterogeneity are biased if the true relationship is...

Beyond LATE with a discrete instrument. Heterogeneity in the quantity-quality interaction of children

Brinch, Christian N.; Mogstad, Magne; Wiswall, Matthew - 2012

The interpretation of instrumental variables (IV) estimates as local average treatment effects (LATE) of instrument-induced shifts in treatment raises concerns about their external validity and policy relevance. We examine how to move beyond LATE in situations where the instrument is discrete,...

How much should we trust linear instrumental variables estimators? An application to family size and children's education

Mogstad, Magne; Wiswall, Matthew - 2009

Many empirical studies specify outcomes as a linear function of endogenous regressors when conducting instrumental variable (IV) estimation. We show that tests for treatment effects, selection bias, and treatment effect heterogeneity are biased if the true relationship is non-linear. These...
