26 Instrumental variables (IV) analysis: Two frameworks How to handle non-compliance in experiments What do you do if some people in an experiment don t do what they are told? How to make causal inference in the presence of endogenous regressors An approach that can sometimes work when you can t do anything else Lecture 26 (QPM 2016) IV Analysis December 6, / 27

27 Framework 1: Who get s the milk? Lecture 26 (QPM 2016) IV Analysis December 6, / 27

28 A non-hypothetical example: The setup Let s imagine a nutrition intervention: Randomly assign schools to get extra provisions of school milk at lunch At all schools teachers allocate milk and keep track of who gets it After one year, follow up and measure weights of all children Lecture 26 (QPM 2016) IV Analysis December 6, / 27

29 A non-hypothetical example: The hitch Two-sided noncompliance People in the treatment condition failed to receive the treatment Lecture 26 (QPM 2016) IV Analysis December 6, / 27

30 A non-hypothetical example: The hitch Two-sided noncompliance People in the treatment condition failed to receive the treatment Some kids don t like milk Lecture 26 (QPM 2016) IV Analysis December 6, / 27

31 A non-hypothetical example: The hitch Two-sided noncompliance People in the treatment condition failed to receive the treatment Some kids don t like milk More importantly, who would you give milk to? Lecture 26 (QPM 2016) IV Analysis December 6, / 27

32 A non-hypothetical example: The hitch Two-sided noncompliance People in the treatment condition failed to receive the treatment Some kids don t like milk More importantly, who would you give milk to? People in the control condition receive the treatment Lecture 26 (QPM 2016) IV Analysis December 6, / 27

33 A non-hypothetical example: The hitch Two-sided noncompliance People in the treatment condition failed to receive the treatment Some kids don t like milk More importantly, who would you give milk to? People in the control condition receive the treatment Some people have cows Lecture 26 (QPM 2016) IV Analysis December 6, / 27

34 A non-hypothetical example: The hitch Two-sided noncompliance People in the treatment condition failed to receive the treatment Some kids don t like milk More importantly, who would you give milk to? People in the control condition receive the treatment Some people have cows Rich people Lecture 26 (QPM 2016) IV Analysis December 6, / 27

36 Instrumental variables We are going to solve two equations at the same time: x i = τ + T i γ + ɛ i1 (1) y i = α + x i β + ɛ i2 (2) ( ɛi1 ɛ i2 ) N(0, Σ) Lecture 26 (QPM 2016) IV Analysis December 6, / 27

37 How does this work? In the abstract 1 We have an endogenous regressor x and we want to know how it affect y. 2 We have a randomly assigned variable T that has a strong effect on x 3 T only affects y through x (exclusion restriction) 4 No one does the opposite on purpose (no defiers) If we have all of these, we can correctly estimate β...

38 How does this work? In the abstract 1 We have an endogenous regressor x and we want to know how it affect y. 2 We have a randomly assigned variable T that has a strong effect on x 3 T only affects y through x (exclusion restriction) 4 No one does the opposite on purpose (no defiers) If we have all of these, we can correctly estimate β but only for the subset of observations that are compliers. Lecture 26 (QPM 2016) IV Analysis December 6, / 27

39 How does this work? In our example 1 We have an endogenous regressor x (milk consumption) and we want to know how it affect y (weight). 2 We have a randomly assigned variable T (which schools get lunch) that has a strong effect on x (milk consumption) 3 T only affects y through x (assignment not related to weight except through milk) 4 No one does the opposite on purpose (no one drinks extra milk because their school was added to the control) If we have all of these, we can correctly estimate β. Lecture 26 (QPM 2016) IV Analysis December 6, / 27

40 How does this work? In our example 1 We have an endogenous regressor x (milk consumption) and we want to know how it affect y (weight). 2 We have a randomly assigned variable T (which schools get lunch) that has a strong effect on x (milk consumption) 3 T only affects y through x (assignment not related to weight except through milk) 4 No one does the opposite on purpose (no one drinks extra milk because their school was added to the control) If we have all of these, we can correctly estimate β.... but only for the subset of observations that are compliers.

51 How does this work? In our example 1 We have an endogenous regressor x (economy) and we want to know how it affect y (civil war). 2 We have a randomly assigned variable T (rainfall in the previous year) that has a strong effect on x (economic growth) 3 T only affects y through x (rain does not directly affect civil war) 4 No one does the opposite on purpose (countries do not have negative economic growth as a consequence of lot s of rain) If we have all of these, we can correctly estimate β.
