Improved JIVE Estimators for Overidentified Linear Models with and without Heteroskedasticity

Ackerberg, Daniel; Devereux, Paul J. - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2008

We introduce two simple new variants of the Jackknife Instrumental Variables (JIVE) estimator for overidentified linear models and show that they are superior to the existing JIVE estimator, significantly improving on its small sample bias properties. We also compare our new estimators to...
