manyweakiv
Linear instrumental variable regressions are widely used to estimate causal effects. Many instruments arise from the use of "technical" instruments and more recently from the empirical strategy of "judge design". Recent research highlights the need for a distinct approach to assess instrument strength when dealing with many instruments, diverging from the conventional first-stage F test intended for only a few instruments.
Inside this repository, you'll find two main commands:
manyweakivpretest: This command is designed to evaluate the strength of instruments. Jack-knife IV estimator is reliable only if instruments are strong.manyweakiv: This command conducts weak identification-robust inference.
Both methods draw from Mikusheva and Sun (2022, 2023). Importantly, they are valid in settings with many instruments and a general form of heteroscedasticity.
Installation
manyweakiv can be installed easily via the github package, which is available at https://github.com/haghish/github. Specifically execute the following code in Stata:
net install github, from("https://haghish.github.io/github/")
To install the manyweakiv package , execute the following in Stata:
