New statistical method enables instrumental variable analysis without structural equations

Researchers have developed a new method for instrumental variable analysis that does not require assuming the existence of exact structural equations. This approach allows for debiased inference on least-squares solutions to inverse problems, providing valid inferential procedures even when structural models do not hold precisely. The method is motivated by structural models but remains robust when these assumptions are not perfectly met. AI

    Instrumental Variable Analysis Without Structural Equations

    We consider debiased inference on least-squares solutions to inverse problems as a way to avoid having to assume exact solutions exist. Such assumptions are substantive and not innocuous and their failure may well imperil inference when we impose them on the statistical model. Ou…
