This paper conducts a general analysis of the conditions under which consistent estimation can be achieved in instrumental variables regression when the available instruments are weak in the local-to-zero sense. More precisely, the approach adopted in this paper combines key features of the...

In the present case, endogeneity in the regressor introduces bias when the true … and propose two new consistent estimators for the parametric regression, which address the endogeneity in the regressor by …

This paper studies estimation and specification testing in threshold regression with endogeneity. Three key results … endogeneity and threshold effects without relying on instrumentation of the covariates. The threshold effect test extends … models in treatment effects evaluation in the presence of endogeneity. …

This paper studies nonlinear cointegration models in which the structural coefficients may evolve smoothly over time. These time-varying coefficient functions are well-suited to many practical applications and can be estimated conveniently by nonparametric kernel methods. It is shown that the...

We derive mean-unbiased estimators for the structural parameter in instrumental variables models where the sign of one or more first stage coefficients is known. In the case with a single instrument, the unbiased estimator is unique. For cases with multiple instruments we propose a class of...

This note derives the correct limit distributions of the Anderson Hsiao (1981) levels and differences instrumental variable estimators, provides comparisons showing that the levels IV estimator has uniformly smaller variance asymptotically as the cross section (n) and time series (T) sample...

In both cases we develop a new … variant of Lasso called classifier-Lasso (C-Lasso) that serves to shrink individual coefficients to the unknown group …-specific coefficients. C-Lasso achieves simultaneous classification and consistent estimation in a single step and the classification …

Limit theory is developed for the dynamic panel GMM estimator in the presence of an autoregressive root near unity. In the unit root case, Anderson-Hsiao lagged variable instruments satisfy orthogonality conditions but are well-known to be irrelevant. For a fixed time series sample size (T) GMM...

We derive mean-unbiased estimators for the structural parameter in instrumental variables models with a single endogenous regressor where the sign of one or more first stage coefficients is known. In the case with a single instrument, the unbiased estimator is unique. For cases with multiple...
