FINITE-SAMPLE INSTRUMENTAL VARIABLES INFERENCE USING AN ASYMPTOTICALLY PIVOTAL STATISTIC
利用渐近枢轴统计量进行有限样本工具变量推断
We consider the K-statistic, Kleibergen's (2002, Econometrica 70, 1781–1803) adaptation of the Anderson–Rubin (AR) statistic in instrumental variables regression. Whereas Kleibergen (2002) especially analyzes the asymptotic behavior of the statistic, we focus on finite-sample properties in a Gaussian framework. The AR statistic then has an F-distribution. The finite-sample distribution of the K-statistic is, however, affected by nuisance parameters. We consider two extreme…
