An Instrumental Variables Approach
, 2009
"... Ethnic diversity is endogenous to economic development in the long run. Yet the standard approach in economic research is to treat ethnic diversity as an exogenous factor. By identifying instruments for ethnic diversity, we correct this misspeci
ca-tion and establish that ethnic diversity has an exo ..."

Economic Shocks and Civil Conflict: An Instrumental Variables Approach
- Journal of Political Economy
, 2004
"... Estimating the impact of economic conditions on the likelihood of civil conflict is difficult because of endogeneity and omitted variable bias. We use rainfall variation as an instrumental variable for economic growth in 41 African countries during 1981–99. Growth is strongly negatively related to c ..."

Structural Breaks An Instrumental Variable Approach∗
"... A structural change test and corresponding change estimator of an instrumental variable nature are proposed. The strengths of the approach lie in its ease of application and the strong test power. It does not suffer from critical value adjustments required by the CUSUM type tests and is unique in th ..."

The medical care costs of obesity: an instrumental variables approach,”
- Journal of Health Economics,
, 2012
"... a b s t r a c t This paper is the first to use the method of instrumental variables (IV) to estimate the impact of obesity on medical costs in order to address the endogeneity of weight and to reduce the bias from reporting error in weight. Models are estimated using restricted-use data from the Me ..."

AN INSTRUMENTAL VARIABLE APPROACH FOR IDENTIFICATION AND ESTIMATION WITH NONIGNORABLE NONRESPONSE
, 2014
"... Abstract: Estimation based on data with nonignorable nonresponse is considered when the joint distribution of the study variable y and covariate x is nonparametric and the nonresponse probability conditional on y and x has a parametric form. The likelihood based on observed data may not be identifi ..."

not be identifiable even when the joint distribution of y and x is parametric. We show that this difficulty can be overcome by utilizing a nonresponse instrument, an auxiliary variable related to y but not related to the nonresponse probability conditional on y and x. Under some conditions we can apply
The Causal Effects of Ethnic Diversity: An Instrumental Variables Approach

Errors-in-Variables Identification in Dynamic Networks by an Instrumental Variable Approach?
"... Abstract: In this paper, the objective is to obtain an estimate of a particular module embedded in a dynamic network using noisy measurements of the internal variables. This is an extension of the errors-in-variables (EIV) framework to the case of dynamic networks. The consequence of measuring the v ..."
Abstract
- Add to MetaCart
the variables with noise is that the prediction error identification methods no longer result in consistent estimates. The method proposed in this paper is based on a combination of the instrumental variable approach and closed-loop prediction-error identification methods. 1.
