Advanced Econometrics Chapter 4: Estimation By Instrumental Variables Chapter ESTIMATION BY INSTRUMENTAL VARIABLES (Instrumental Variable Estimators) I ENDOGENEITY: Now suppose ε, X are not independently generated: Cov(ε,X)≠ and E(ε|X) ≠ There are sources of this problem: Errors in measurement of independent variables: Suppose that the true regression equation is given by: yi = β0 + β1xi + εi where E(εi) = E(εixi) = Note: Cov(ε i , xi ) = E[ε i ( xi − x )] = E (ε i , xi ) − E (ε i , x ) = E (ε i , xi )    So if Cov(ε i , xi ) = ↔ E (ε i , xi ) = Suppose x *i = xi + ei Assume: → E(ei) = E(eixi) = estimate: yi = β0 + β1xi* + ui where: ui = εi -
