Pivotal and identification-robust nonparametric inference in linear IV models
线性工具变量模型中的枢轴型与识别稳健非参数推断
We develop new inference procedures for a linear IV model that are robust to identification strength and heteroskedasticity of unknown form, and nonparametric with respect to the first-stage equation. Our first test is tailored for inference on parameters of endogenous explanatory variables. Our new statistic modifies that of Antoine and Lavergne (2003) to directly account for heteroskedasticity of unknown form. As a result, it is asymptotically pivotal, so that inference is…
