CALCULATING INSTRUMENTAL VARIABLE ESTIMATOR AND COVARIANCE

Description:

Objetive:

To calculate the instrumental variable estimator, when the number of instruments is equal to the number of endogenous variables. In addition, we calculate the covariance matrix of the estimator.

Regression:

  • Independent variable (x): packs
  • Dependent variable (y): real pack price and
  • Instrumental variable (z): real sales tax.
