机器学习驱动的线性工具变量模型设定检验AI 解读

The linear instrumental variable (IV) model is widely used in observational studies, yet its validity hinges on strong assumptions. Classical specification tests such as the Sargan-Hansen J test are limited to overidentified settings and are therefore not applicable in the common just-identified case, where the number of instruments is equal to the number of endogenous variables. We propose a novel test for the well-specification of the linear IV model under the assumption…

利用有效工具变量与机器学习推断异质处理效应AI 解读

We introduce a new instrumental variable (IV) estimator for heterogeneous treatment effects in the presence of endogeneity. Our estimator is based on double/debiased machine learning (DML) and uses efficient machine learning instruments (MLIV) and kernel smoothing. We prove consistency and asymptotic normality of our estimator and also construct confidence sets that are more robust towards weak IV. Along the way, we also provide an accessible discussion of the corresponding…
