Endogenous Heteroskedasticity in Linear Models
Linear regressions with endogeneity are widely used to estimate causal effects. This paper studies a framework that involves two common issues: endogeneity of the regressors and heteroskedasticity that depends on endogenous regressors-i.e., endogenous heteroskedasticity. We show that the presence of endogenous heteroskedasticity in the structural regression renders the two-stage least squares estimator inconsistent. To address this issue, we propose sufficient conditions and a control function approach to identify and estimate the causal parameters of interest. We establish the limiting properties of the estimator--namely, consistency and asymptotic normality--and propose inference procedures. Monte Carlo simulations provide evidence on the finite-sample performance of the proposed methods and evaluate different implementation strategies. We revisit an empirical application on job training to illustrate the methods.

Fast, Robust Inference for Linear Instrumental Variables Models using Self-Normalized Moments
We propose and implement an approach to inference in linear instrumental variables models which is simultaneously robust and computationally tractable. Inference is based on self-normalization of sample moment conditions…
Identification of structural shocks in Bayesian VEC models with two-state Markov-switching heteroskedasticity
We develop a Bayesian framework for cointegrated structural VAR models identified by two-state Markovian breaks in conditional covariances. The resulting structural VEC specification with Markov-switching heteroskedastic…
Weak 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…
Pair copula constructions of point-optimal sign-based tests for predictive linear and nonlinear regressions
We propose pair copula constructed point-optimal sign tests in the context of linear and nonlinear predictive regressions with endogenous, persistent regressors, and disturbances exhibiting serial (nonlinear) dependence.…
validTesting for Threshold Effects in Presence of Heteroskedasticity and Measurement Error with an application to Italian Strikes
Many macroeconomic time series are characterised by nonlinearity both in the conditional mean and in the conditional variance and, in practice, it is important to investigate separately these two aspects. Here we address…
