Many instrumental variable (IV) regressions include control variables to justify (conditional)
independence of the instrument and the potential outcomes. The plausibility of conditional IV …

Improving the labor market outcomes of US veterans: The long-run effect of the Transition Assistance Program

X Li - Defence and Peace Economics, 2020 - Taylor & Francis
The success of military recruiting depends largely on the potential consequences of military
services. This study examines how military service affects labor market outcomes of …

Examining the distributional effects of military service on earnings: A test of initial dominance

CJ Bennett, R Zitikis - Journal of Business & Economic Statistics, 2013 - Taylor & Francis
Existing empirical evidence suggests that the effects of Vietnam veteran status on earnings
in the decade-and-a-half following service may be concentrated in the lower tail of the …

[PDF][PDF] On the validity of Durbin-Wu-Hausman tests for assessing partial exogeneity hypotheses with possibly weak instruments

FD Tchatoka - University of Tasmania (UTAS). working paper series, 2012 - core.ac.uk
We investigate the validity of the standard specification tests for assessing the exogeneity of
subvectors in the linear IV regression. Our results show that ignoring the endogeneity of the …

Testing for partial exogeneity with weak identification

F Doko Tchatoka - Available at SSRN 2085306, 2012 - papers.ssrn.com
We consider the following problem. A structural equation of interest contains two sets of
explanatory variables which economic theory predicts may be endogenous. The researcher …

[PDF][PDF] Improved Projection GMM-LM Tests for Linear Restrictions

S Chaudhuri - 2017 - saraswata.research.mcgill.ca
Let the unknown true value of a dθ× 1 parameter θ be θ0. Let θ0 satisfy dg≥ dθ moment
restrictions. Consider a linear null hypothesis H0: Rθ0= r0 where R is a fixed, full row-rank …

Specification tests with weak and invalid instruments

F Doko Tchatoka - 2012 - figshare.utas.edu.au
We investigate the size of the Durbin-Wu-Hausman tests for exogeneity when instrumental
variables violate the strict exogeneity assumption. We show that these tests are severely …
