Genetic markers as instrumental variables: An application to child fat mass and academic achievement
von Hinke Kessler Scholder, Stephanie; Smith, George Davey - 2010
The use of genetic markers as instrumental variables (IV) is receiving increasing attention from economists. This paper examines the conditions that need to be met for genetic variants to be used as instruments. We combine the IV literature with that from genetic epidemiology, with an...
