New IVQR Method Leverages Conditional Diffusion Models

Researchers have developed a novel two-stage estimator for nonparametric Instrumental Variable Quantile Regression (IVQR). This method combines conditional diffusion modeling with kernel-smoothed conditional moment formulations to estimate the joint conditional distribution of outcomes and endogenous covariates. The approach establishes theoretical guarantees for the estimator, including total variation guarantees for the diffusion model, and demonstrates superior performance over existing nonparametric IVQR methods in simulations and real-world applications, particularly with increasing covariate and instrument dimensionality.
