工具变量模型中的异常值稳健推断及因果效应应用AI 解读

Summary The Anderson‐Rubin (AR) test is an important method that allows for reliable inference in the instrumental variable model when the instruments are weak. Yet, the robustness properties of this test have not been formally studied. As it turns out that the AR test is not robust to outliers, we show how to construct an outlier robust alternative—the robust AR test. We investigate the robustness properties of the robust AR test and show that the robust AR statistic…

样本选择模型中的稳健推断AI 解读

Summary The problem of non-random sample selectivity often occurs in practice in many fields. The classical estimators introduced by Heckman are the backbone of the standard statistical analysis of these models. However, these estimators are very sensitive to small deviations from the distributional assumptions which are often not satisfied in practice. We develop a general framework to study the robustness properties of estimators and tests in sample selection models. We…
