Two general linear model-based predictors, one of the expectation of a finite population total and one of that total itself, are compared with the design-based generalized regression estimator (GRE). First, the predictors are made to conform to the GRE by modifying the regression parameter estimators but retaining the same (optimal) inclusion probabilities. Second, the GRE is made to conform with each of the predictors in turn by modifying the inclusion probabilities but retaining the generalized least squares (GLS) or best linear unbiased form for the estimators of the regression parameters. It is shown that the choice of inclusion probabilities is more important asymptotically than the choice of estimator for the regression parameters and hence that predictors obtained by the first method generally have smaller asymptotic expected variances than those obtained by the second method. Using the first method, certain special cases are shown to correspond to familiar estimators. If there is only one explanatory variable and no constant term in the model, the predictor of the expectation of the finite population total obtained by the first procedure is identical to the Horvitz-Thompson ratio estimator. If the finite population total itself is to be predicted, the estimator is that suggested by Brewer (1979). If there is a constant term in the model, the GLS predictor can be conformed to the GRE by replacing the inverse-variance weights used to estimate the regression coefficients by functions of the (optimal) inclusion probabilities. It is shown further that appropriate estimators can be constructed in the general case by the use of an appropriate instrumental variable. Under fairly weak conditions this variable can be constructed by deleting a column from a matrix used in the calculation of the GLS estimator and replacing it by a column of weights that are simple functions of the inclusion probabilities. Illustrative examples are given.
We study inference for continuous linear functionals of solutions to ill-posed inverse problems, including Euclidean parameters arising in nonparametric instrumental variables, proximal causal inference, and shadow-variable models. Although pointwise root-$n$ inference is possible under standard conditions, we show that this need not translate into locally reliable inference. Under a model imposing only minimal regularity conditions, the target is Hellinger discontinuous…
观测因果推断中不完全识别下的相对偏差
To conduct causal inference in observational settings, researchers must rely on certain identifying assumptions. In practice, these assumptions are unlikely to hold exactly. This paper considers the bias of selection-on-observables, instrumental variables, and proximal inference estimates under violations of their identifying assumptions. We develop bias expressions for IV and proximal inference that show how violations of their respective assumptions are amplified by any…
Two frequent approaches for identifying structural VARs are external instruments, which carry economic content but are often weak, and non-Gaussianity of the shocks, which provides statistical identification but carries no economic meaning. We combine the two strategies in a single generalized method of moments framework. This hybrid approach point-identifies the target shocks while also identifying the non-target shocks up to sign and ordering. Under suitable rank…
有意过度识别的局部投影
Local projections (LPs) have become a standard tool for estimating dynamic effects in macroeconomics and are typically implemented using ordinary least squares (OLS) for a given lag order. We propose an alternative approach that exploits additional lags as excluded instrumental variables (IVs). Under a finite-order model with martingale-difference shocks, the resulting (optimally weighted) IV estimator is never asymptotically less efficient than OLS and, as we show, can…
IV-LASSO 的工具变量字典与惩罚选择
Estimating the first stage of an instrumental variables (IV) model with the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) requires choosing a dictionary of technical instruments and a penalty level. First-order asymptotic theory offers no guidance on these choices, as any consistent implementation yields a structural parameter estimator with the same limiting distribution. In finite samples, however, these choices can have a substantial impact on the resulting…
非线性矩模型的高效随机广义矩估计
We study the asymptotic properties of the nonlinear stochastic GMM algorithm proposed by Chen, Lee, Liao, Seo, Shin and Song for recursively estimating parameters defined by possibly nonlinear and overidentified moment restrictions $\E[g(X,β^*)]=0$. Each observation updates estimates of the moment Jacobian, inverse covariance matrix and Gauss--Newton preconditioner at a cost independent of sample size. For linear and nonlinear instrumental-variable moments, we derive an…
