Censored Quantile Instrumental Variable Estimation With Stata, Victor Chernozhukov, Iván Fernández-Val, Sukjin Han, Amanda E. Kowalski Feb 2018

Censored Quantile Instrumental Variable Estimation With Stata, Victor Chernozhukov, Iván Fernández-Val, Sukjin Han, Amanda E. Kowalski

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

Many applications involve a censored dependent variable and an endogenous independent variable. Chernozhukov et al. (2015) introduced a censored quantile instrumental variable estimator (CQIV) for use in those applications, which has been applied by Kowalski (2016), among others. In this article, we introduce a Stata command, cqiv, that simplifies application of the CQIV estimator in Stata. We summarize the CQIV estimator and algorithm, we describe the use of the cqiv command, and we provide empirical examples.


A Distribution-Free Stochastic Frontier Model With Endogenous Regressors, Levent Kutlu Feb 2018

A Distribution-Free Stochastic Frontier Model With Endogenous Regressors, Levent Kutlu

Economics and Finance Faculty Publications and Presentations

We provide a guideline for estimating a distribution-free panel data stochastic frontier model in the presence of endogenous variables. In particular, we consider variations of the within estimator of Cornwell et al. (1990) to allow endogenous regressors.


Estimation Of A Partially Linear Regression In Triangular Systems, Xin Geng, Carlos Martins-Filho, Feng Yao Jan 2018

Estimation Of A Partially Linear Regression In Triangular Systems, Xin Geng, Carlos Martins-Filho, Feng Yao

Economics Faculty Working Papers Series

We propose kernel-based estimators for the components of a partially linear regression in a triangular system where endogenous regressors appear both in the linear and nonparametric components of the regression. Compared with other estimators currently available in the literature, e.g. the sieve estimators proposed in Ai and Chen (2003) or Otsu (2011), our estimators have explicit functional form and are much easier to implement. They rely on a set of assumptions introduced by Newey et al. (1999) that characterize what has become known as the “control function” approach for endogeneity in regression. We explore conditional moment restrictions that make this …
