Binary response model with many weak instruments
This paper considers an endogenous binary response model with many weak instruments. We employ a control function approach and a regularization scheme to obtain better estimation results for the endogenous binary response model in the presence of many weak instruments. Two consistent and asymptotically normally distributed estimators are provided, each of which is called a regularized conditional maximum likelihood estimator (RCMLE) and a regularized nonlinear least squares estimator (RNLSE). Monte Carlo simulations show that the proposed estimators outperform the existing ones when there are many weak instruments. We use the proposed estimation method to examine the effect of family income on college completion.

A Control Function Approach to Estimate Panel Data Binary Response Model
We propose a new control function (CF) method to estimate a binary response model in a triangular system with multiple unobserved heterogeneities The CFs are the expected values of the heterogeneity terms in the reduced …
The First-stage F Test with Many Weak Instruments
A widely adopted approach for detecting weak instruments is to use the first-stage $F$ statistic. While this method was developed with a fixed number of instruments, its performance with many instruments remains insuffic…
validWeak Identification with Many Instruments
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''. Thi…
Inference with Many Weak Instruments
We develop a concept of weak identification in linear IV models in which the number of instruments can grow at the same rate or slower than the sample size. We propose a jackknifed version of the classical weak identific…
validNonparametric Instrumental Variable Inference with Many Weak Instruments
We study inference on linear functionals in the nonparametric instrumental variable (NPIV) problem with a discretely-valued instrument under a many-weak-instruments asymptotic regime, where the number of instrument value…
