Summary We study inference via heteroskedasticity in linear models commonly used for macroeconomic policy analysis, where covariate endogeneity must often be addressed with limited time and data. Our framework nests standard heteroskedasticity-based approaches, allows for new non-nested restrictions, and does not require ex ante regime labelling. We propose an easily implementable weak identification robust test and derive sufficient conditions for its validity. Simulation…

高维弱工具变量下的推断与新凯恩斯菲利普斯曲线AI 解读

Inference on macroeconomic relations using instrumental variables (IVs) is often characterised by weak and high-dimensional IVs. I propose a weak-IV robust method that remains valid under dependent data, arbitrarily weak identification, and a number of IVs that can increase exponentially with the sample size. I show by simulation that using methods that are not robust to weak and high-dimensional IVs can lead to substantially biased inference, while the proposed test has…

岭正则化的刀切 Anderson–Rubin 检验AI 解读

We consider hypothesis testing in instrumental variable regression models with few included exogenous covariates but many instruments-possibly more than the number of observations. We show that a ridge-regularized version of the jackknifed Anderson and Rubin (henceforth AR) test controls asymptotic size in the presence of heteroscedasticity, and when the instruments may be arbitrarily weak. Asymptotic size control is established under weaker assumptions than those imposed…
