Testing for Endogeneity: A Moment-Based Bayesian Approach
内生性检验:基于矩条件的贝叶斯方法
A standard assumption in the Bayesian estimation of linear regression models is that the regressors are exogenous in the sense that they are uncorrelated with the model error term. In practice, however, this assumption can be invalid. In this paper, using the exponentially tilted empirical likelihood framework, we develop a Bayes factor test for endogeneity that compares a base model that is correctly specified under exogeneity but misspecified under endogeneity against an…
