Instrumental Variables with Unordered Treatments : Theory and Evidence from Returns to Fields of Study
Heinesen, Eskil; Hvid, Christian; Kirkebøen, Lars J.; … - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2022
We revisit the identification argument of Kirkeboen et al. (2016) who showed how one may combine instruments for multiple unordered treatments with information about individuals' ranking of these treatments to achieve identification while allowing for both observed and unobserved heterogeneity...

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...

The impact of teachers’ wages on students’ performance in the presence of heterogeneity and endogeneity. Evidence from Brazil.
Maresa, SPRIETSMA; Fabio, WALTENBERG - Institut de Recherche Économique et Sociale (IRES), … - 2005
In this paper we estimate the effect of teachers’ wages on students’ achievement in a developing country. We use test scores of pupils enrolled in the 8th grade of primary school, surveyed in 2001 in Brazil. We regress individual student test scores on gross monthly teacher wages allowing...

Finite Sample Inference Methods for Simultaneous Equations and Models with Unobserved and Generated Regressors
Dufour, Jean-Marie; Jasiak, Joanna - Centre Interuniversitaire de Recherche en Analyse des … - 2000
We propose finite sample tests and confidence sets for models with unobserved and generated regressors as well as various models estimated by instrumental variables methods. The validity of the procedures is unaffected by the presence of identification problems or weak instruments, so no...

Finite-Sample Inference Methods for Simultaneous Equations and Models with Unobserved and Generated Regressors
DUFOUR, Jean-Marie; JASIAK, Joanna - Département de Sciences Économiques, Université de … - 1998
We propose finite sample tests and confidence sets for models with unobserved and generated regressors as well as various models estimated by instrumental variables methods. The validity of the procedures is unaffected by the presence of identification problems or "weak instruments", so no...

Individual heterogeneity in the returns to schooling: instrumental variables quantile regression using twins data
Arias, Omar; Sosa-Escudero, Walter; Hallock, Kevin F. - In: Empirical Economics 26 (2001) 1, pp. 7-40
Considerable effort has been exercised in estimating mean returns to education while carefully considering biases … "mean" return to education across the population with mixed results. We use an instrumental variables estimator for quantile … regression on a sample of twins to estimate an entire family of returns to education at different quantiles of the conditional …
