Jackknife instrumental variable estimation with heteroskedasticity
异方差下的刀切工具变量估计
We present a new jackknife estimator for instrumental variable inference with unknown heteroskedasticity. It weighs observations such that many-instruments consistency is guaranteed while the signal component in the data is maintained. We show that this results in a smaller signal component in the many instruments asymptotic variance when compared to estimators that neglect a part of the signal to achieve consistency. Both many strong instruments and many weak instruments…
