A Theory Guide to Using Control Functions to Instrument Hazard Models
使用控制函数为风险率模型引入工具变量的理论指南
I develop the theory around using control functions to instrument hazard models, allowing the inclusion of endogenous (e.g., mismeasured) regressors. Simple discrete-data hazard models can be expressed as binary choice panel data models, and the widespread Prentice and Gloeckler (1978) discrete-data proportional hazards model can specifically be expressed as a complementary log-log model with time fixed effects. This allows me to recast it as GMM estimation and its…
