Instrumental Variables Estimation


Explanation:
We call y2 an endogenous variable when y2 is correlated with u. As we have studied
earlier, y2 would be correlated with u if (a) there are omitted variables that are correlated
with y2 and y1, (b) y2 is measured with errors, and (c) y1 and y2 are simultaneously
determined (we will cover this issue later). All of these problems, we can identify the
source of the problems as the correlation between the error term and one or some of the
independent variables.
For all of these problems, we can apply instrumental variables (IV) estimations because
instrumental variables are used to cut correlations between the error term and
independent variables.

neutral  Francois Boye: We differ for one reason. You claim that instrumental variables are estimated. I respond that they are not. Did you read my attachment?
