We study the estimation of causal treatment effects on demand when treatment is randomly assigned but prices adjust in … response to treatment. We show that regressions of demand on treatment or on treatment and price lead to biased estimates of … the direct treatment effect. The bias in both cases depends on the correlation of price with treatment and points in the …

In this paper, we introduce a new approach to estimating differentiated product demand systems that allows for products … with zero sales in the data. Zeroes in demand are a common problem in differentiated product markets, but fall outside the … scope of existing demand estimation techniques. We show that with a lower bound imposed on the expected sales quantities, we …

We develop an “omitted variable bias” framework for sensitivity analysis of instrumental variable (IV) estimates that is immune to “weak instruments,” naturally handles multiple “side-effects” (violations of the exclusion restriction assumption) and “confounders” (violations of...

Instrumental variables (IV) are often used to provide exogenous variation in the impulse response analysis but the heterogeneous effects the IV may identify are rarely discussed. In microeconometrics, on the other hand, it is well understood that an IV identifies the local average treatment...

In a model with endogenous regressors, heteroskedastic and autocorrelated (HAC) errors and weak instruments, tests that depend on the data only through the Anderson-Rubin (AR) and Lagrange Multiplier (LM) statistics ignore important information on the regression coefficients. This is in contrast...

Instrumental variables estimation can, in principle, avoid biases that ordinary least squares estimation suffers when explanatory variables are correlated with the disturbances. Finding appropriate instruments is a challenge. Ten strategies for avoiding invalid instruments (those correlated with...
