A significant understanding has emerged over the past few years that instrumental variable (FV) estimation of the simultaneous equation model can lead to problems of inference in the situation of "weak instruments," which can arise when the instruments do not have a high degree of explanatory power for the jointly endogenous variable(s) or when the number of instruments becomes large. The situation of limited information estimation of a single equation has been studied extensively in the presence of "weak instruments." These problems of inference in the when conventional conventional weak instrument situation can arise order) asymptotic inference techniques are used. In particular, (first order asymptotics can lead to a lack of indication of a problem even first though significant (large sample) bias is present because estimated standard errors are not very accurate. A number of papers have recommended possible diagnostics for the presence of the problem, e.g. Shea (1997). The usual form of the recommended diagnostics is to examine the R^ or the associated F included endogenous variable(s). A more refined recommendation is to consider the partial R^ (or partialled out rank its associated F statistic of the reduced form regression for the statistic) after the predetermined variables have been of the equation being estimated. Another approach has been to consider the statistic originally put forward by Anderson and Rubin (1949). While both ' approaches yield valuable information, the R^ approach lacks a distribution theory and the rank condition test, in some sense, does not answer the question conventional asymptotic theory does in forming In this paper, we take a new approach and and use higher order asymptotic test IV asymptotics new estimator since it is by far the most commonly specification test takes the general approach as the specification approach of Hausman (1978) and estimates the same parameter(s) ways. In particular, are reliable We recommend a new specification test for the IV estimators, we concentrate initially on the 2SLS used estimator. Our of how well statistics for inference. distribution theory to determine if the conventional first order in a particular situation. at issue we compare the difference in two different of the forward (conventional) 2SLS estimator of the coefficient of the right hand side endogenous variable with the reverse 2SLS estimator of the same unknown parameter when the normalization is changed. Under the null hypothesis that conventional first order asymptotics provides a reliable guide, the two estimates should be very according to first Our test difference in the it Indeed, they have unitary correlation when second order asymptotic distribution theory. However, asymptotic distribution theory bias terms. similar. is two estimators used, the will differ order due to second order subtracts off these bias terms and then sees whether the resulting two estimates satisfies the results does and the second order bias term is small, of second order asymptotic theory. If we do not reject the use of first order asymptotic theory. Furthermore, the second order asymptotic theory reliable basis for inference. An added attraction of our approach is may that it provide a more permits the econometrician to compare two estimates of a structural parameter, which will have a straightforward economic interpretation in many situations. can use economic knowledge to determine if the two estimates Thus, the econometrician are very different or are close together in terms of the economic problem under study. If the new specification test rejects we then second-order unbiased estimators of the type first consider estimation of the equation by We again proposed by Nagar (1959). consider forward and reverse estimation by the Nagar-type estimators to determine if the estimates are significantly different according to the not significantly different we recommend new estimation specification test. If they are by LIML, which we demonstrate is the optimal linear combination of the Nagar-type estimators (to second order). If the second specification test rejects or the based on economic considerations, LIML, may provide two Nagar-type estimators we conclude that neither set of estimates, 2SLS also provides recommendations found some in the literature. possible lessons about previous To second reduced form affects the asymptotic bias of the 2SLS order, not only the estimator, but also R^ of the two other terms These terms are the covariance between stochastic disturbances structural equation and in the reduced form equation(s), and instruments. These three factors interact in a nonlinear in the manner so does not perform well. in the number of it is unlikely that any single first order asymptotic theory based test statistic will suffice to indicate errors in variables or reliable results for inference in the particular situation. Our approach are important. differ substantially when 2SLS We point out similarities between this result and the well-knov^ model in econometrics to demonstrate how this outcome might be We also develop conditions under which the true parameter will be lie in the expected. of the forward and reverse estimates. interval Lastly, IV estimators. may we investigate the performance of Nagar-type second order bias corrected While these estimators and also not perform well in the LIML need weak instrument not be significantly better than particular, inferences based on situation. 2SLS over LIML may not do well While Rothenberg (1983) uses situation. LIML can lead to results when Thus, demonstrate that a range of possible situations. In "weak instruments" in the LIML is second order reliable inference We also demonstrate the high degree of similarity for of LIML. we of Pfanzagl and Wefelmeyer (1978, 1979) to demonstrate that, under certain conditions, specification test should help determine improved performance, they efficient, our can be based on the use k -class estimators between the approach of Bekker (1994) and the Edgeworth expansion approach of Rothenberg (1983). We analyze an empirical problem of a simultaneous equation specification of a demand who equation. This type of model formed the original model consider by Haavelmo, first demand demonstrated that least squares would lead to biased for railroad particular bulk movements between commodity. The different origin and destination pairs for a original specification has quantity as the left variable and price along with other variables on the right hand side. have short run marginal cost regression using price as the endogenous variable. finds that the asymptotic variables. We find that the 2SLS two left elasticity increases, but the new right hand side specification test estimates are close together enough so as not to reject the results. demand We then reverse the hand side variable and quantity as the The estimated hand side As instruments we estimate of the about 2 times larger than the least squares estimate. elasticity is We consider the results. first order We then include many more instruments by interacting the cost instruments with the indicator variables for each origin-destination pair. The estimated price elasticity decreases significantly in magnitude, back toward the least squares estimate. When we run the reverse 2SLS estimation, we find that the estimate is about 6 times higher than then forward estimate. Here our specification test easily rejects the use of the first order asymptotics. Also, LIML does not do well in this latter situation. The previous literature on the presence of weak instruments begins with Nelson and Startz (1990 a and b) and Bound, Jaeger, and Baker (1995) performance of IV estimators when the weak in the instruments problem weak instruments may who situation. exist are given demonstrate the poor Analysis of conditions by Hall, Rudebusch, and Wilcox (1996), Shea (1997), and Staiger and Stock (1997). Improved inferential techniques are recommended by Startz, Startz, Nelson, and Zivot (1998), Wang and Zivot (1999), and Zivot, and Nelson (1999). All of these approaches are essentially first order asymptotic approximation approaches in terms of recognizing the weak instruments problem and offering alternative approaches to inference. inference and to estimation that by a number of researchers. we use was The second order asymptotic approach initiated to by Nagar (1959) and has been used We follow the particular second order approximation of Bekker(1994). While many different conclusions can we tend to recommend that the IV be drawn estimates, or even the used when the specification test rejects (unless the reason for this conclusion that the situations when is in the IV weak instruments situation, "improved" IV estimates not be two estimates are close together). The estimators typically have significant bias in these the specification test rejects which recommends against their use. First order asymptotics assumes that no bias exists, but the second order approach can find significant bias depending on the underlying primitive conditions. present as demonstrated by the specification may test, When this bias we believe that use of the IV is estimates lead to misguided conclusions. 2. Model We begin with the simplest model specification with one right hand side (RHS) jointly endogenous variable so that the single jointly jointly endogenous endogenous left RHS variable. variable, which is by hand side variable (LHS) depends only on the In the class of models with only one far the RHS most common specification used econometrics, this model specification accounts for other RHS in predetermined (or exogenous) variables, which have been "partialled out" of the specification. Thus, not lose any generality by not including predetermined variables in the initial we do specification. in the We demonstrate below how RHS predetermined variables may be included formulae and computations. We will assume that (2.1) Jl =Py2^S\ +V, =fiz7t^ (2.2) where d^m{7i^) = equation (2.2) is K Thus, the matrix z . is the matrix of all predetermined variables, and the reduced form equation for y^ with coefficient vector n:^ .

Motivation 3 . 1 Errors in Variables We first consider an analogy between the simultaneous equation model specification and the errors in variable (EIV) model were replaced with a mismeasured exogenous specification. If variable, jj i" equation (2. 1) under classical assumptions of uncorrelated measurement error, the least squares estimate of J3 would be biased (in magnitude) towards zero. Hausman, Newey and Powell (1995) call this result the "iron law" of econometrics - the magnitude of the coefficient estimates are less than expected. . While this result does not always occur when least squares is since the direction of bias depends on the sign of 0,2 2SLS used the coefficient estimate increases is under certain situations even when 2SLS an estimate of n^ fi"om equation (2.2) is is . in a , used on equation common finding is magnitude. However, in used on equation (2.1), bias (2.1), that finite when samples remains because used, since the true parameters are unknown. We now demonstrate how this result occurs. Suppose that zn^ is measured without unbiased. Instead, z;T2must be estimated, the stage first ., ,. (31) OLS estimator. i.e., error. Then, we have to OLS rely of y^ on zn^ would be on 2SLS.

Thus, the finite sample bias in the simultaneous equation problem has similarities with the bias in the specification, with the of instruments. No major difference that equation (3.1) has a term similar variable arises in the instruments are used when OLS EIV estimation is EIV model in K , EIV model the number bias formula because no undertaken. Forward and Reverse Regressions 3.2 A well-known result in the EIV model specification is that the forward regression and the reverse regression, /? , when the coefficient estimate is inverted, where by reverse regression we mean interchanging the bound the RHS true coefficient variable with the variable in the regression specification.

Thus, a high bounds for the true coefficient ^ R^ are very tight, and vice versa.' implies that the We now explore a similar result in the context of the simultaneous equation model.

A Specification Test based on Nagar-Type Estimators We also explore an alternative approach, which is closely related to comparing the forward and reverse 2SLS estimators.

We will use Theorem 3 below to compare the forward and reverse bias adjusted estimators of fi to form a test of the model specification. We may want to consider linear combinations of b and — for improved c inference. It can easily be shown that the asymptotic variance, to second order, for the optimal linear combination is ra.,(«_) = (7.3) given by ^.-^M2, l-a which coincides with the asymptotic variance of LIML Therefore, forward we may interpret LIML 2SLS and reverse 2SLS. LIML is also known to be median unbiased of the stochastic disturbance of equation (1977), and, more (2. 1), (2.1), as for normal shown by Anderson generally, for symmetric distributions of the stochastic disturbance of by Rothenberg (1983). Thus, the optimality Wefelmeyer (1978, 1979) are applicable admissible, while other definition by Bekker (1994). as an optimal linear combination of bias corrected distributions equation as derived k results to claim that the resulting class estimators are inadmissible unless of Pfanzagl and LIML A estimator is in the estimator above has a coefficient of unity.

In The estimated we find bias of least squares. Again, we consider possible diagnostics, an F statistic RHS -1.36 (.147) and statistic, F estimated column 2 we use the conventional direction of the simultaneous equation a relatively small estimated standard error. we find that the R^ of the reduced form of 154.5. The R^ of the reduced form model after all variables of the structural equation have been partialled out associated is price elasticity increases in magnitude to -2.03 (.465) outcome given the expected the expected is is When 0.941 with is of the predetermined .093 with an of 74.6. While the partialled out model has a lower R^ and statistic as expected, they do not indicate a problem according F to rules of thumb previously put forward in the literature. We now interchange the jointly endogenous variable and put price on the LHS and quantity on the RHS. The results are given in Column 3 of Table A. We use the same instruments and find our estimate of — to be -0.433 (.094) so the reverse estimate c of the price elasticity is -2.3 1 (.500) so that the difference between the forward and reverse estimates of the price elasticity is which should be exactly the same under The question 0.275. first whether these estimates, is order asymptotics, are different enough to reject the conventional first order asymptotic approach. Using the second order approximation of equation difference in the bias of the two estimators to be -.0012, (6.6), which we is estimate the quite small. use equation (9.1) to calculate the variance and estimate our specification We then test statistic to be: (12.1) ;;, = d = __ 10.03 __ = 1.85, ~ w"-' 5.43 Thus, up to a second order asymptotic approximation we do not reject the first order asymptotic approach or the associated estimators. We now use the Nagar-type estimator of Donald and Newey in columns four and five. Here we find the same estimates degree of overidentification is 1. in the forward and reverse direction because the Using Theorem 2 to form the specification 27 test, we find it to be 1.82, which is very similar to our previous estimate. Lastly, estimate to be -2.05 (.469), which does expected, but note that it is lie we find the LIML between the forward and reverse estimates, as 2SLS quite close to the forward estimate. We now increase the number of instruments by 13 by interacting the cost instrumental variable with the corresponding OD indicator variables. This new variable allows for unobserved cost differences across the different OD pairs. The resuhs are 1 given in Table B. The first column has the forward 2SLS estimate of-1 .24 (.194) which has decreased significantly in magnitude back towards the least squares estimate from Table B A situation of weak instruments may well be present. of -1.36. reduced form is The R^ of the reduced form 0.972. with an associated F statistic of 2.79, which gives The R^ of the for the partialled out little indication of a model is .219 weak instruments problem.

In columns 3 and 4 of Table B we present the Nagar-type bias corrected forward and reverse IV estimates recommended by Donald and Newey. The forward estimator now -1.21 (.194), while the reverse estimator is has been made, the two estimates still differ -4.64 (.293). While some improvement by a large amount. estimated to be 5.78, which again rejects. Lastly, the 28 is The specification test LIML estimate is -1 . 1 8 (.2 1 1), is which, again, is quite close to the forward regression. Thus, use of LIML in the weak instrument situation estimators differ significantly because it when we do not recommend the the forward and reverse Nagar-type often has a significant asymptotic bias, as indicated in this example and in other empirical examples we have investigated. We conclude that in a real world example that the IV estimators can perform poorly in the weak instrument situation. Using the forward and reverse estimate seems to give a convenient metric to analyze the performance of the estimators. The specification tests we have proposed work also as we would Carlo results to explore further the performance of the 13. We now turn to some Monte- expect. tests.

Conclusions Using the forward and reverse 2SLS estimates to form a specification test seems to be a helpful approach. asymptotic approximation to form a test asymptotic approach '^ is statistic test for weak We use a second order accurate enough to provide reliable inferences. The fact that 2SLS does better than endogeneity of regressors. instruments to to see if the conventional first The order first order LIML suggests that 2SLS should be used for Hausman tests of 32 is asymptotics implies that the two estimates should be the same, while the second order asymptotic approach allows for different biases in the two estimators. The econometrician can also consider the estimates and see whether the difference in the estimates is is large in economic terns relative to what would be expected. The test statistic straightforward to compute using existing econometric software to calculate the LIML as well estimators, Nagar-type estimators, and While giving guidance to inference econometrician's beliefs, specification test 2SLS we of equation as the partialled out models. suggest the following approach. (6.7) based small, the conventional first order asymptotics all right. We suggest that the new on forward and reverse 2SLS be done. estimates are close and the estimate of the bias term should be on the often subjective based is 2SLS may be B from equation used, and the If the test rejects or the estimated bias term is 2SLS large, If the (6.6) is estimates we then suggest using Nagar-type estimates to perform the second specification test based on equation (7.4). If the forward and reverse estimates are close and the specification test does not reject, we suggest using If the test rejects, we do LIML, which the optimal combination of the two estimators.^^ is not suggest using these estimates as either a failure of the orthogonality conditions or an extreme situation of "weak instruments" is likely to be present. If the Nagar-type forward and reverse estimates are not close but the specification test does not reject, a decision cannot typically be made based on the new specification test. Our approach can be generalized when more than one jointly endogenous is on the right hand side of the model specification. Two variable variables can be interchanged as before to provide forward and reverse estimates. Second order asymptotic theory is again used to form the associated distributions of the second order distributions for the bias terms and for the specification tests. We derive the rather unexpected result that only one set of differences provides the optimal specification limited the extension to 2 test So far, we have RHS jointly endogenous variables for the second based on the Nagar-type estimator. RHS jointly test. specification We expect to extend our results to 3 endogenous variables and to the first 33 specification test, which is or more based on the 2SLS estimator.
