Identification, Part 3: Instrumental Variables

[@ziyiyang8718]

Our professor spend at least 30mins to explain this and I am still confused. And she get me understand this in 4mins!

[@DanTheStripe]

I'm stunned you could fit so much explanation in a video under 5 minutes. That's incredible.

[@a103yo]

Excellent explanation! I am a MA economics student from Taiwan. It's very clear to understand the concept of IV. Thanks for your video!! :))))

[@nisarainy2272]

BRILLIANT EXPLANATION! I've just had an epiphany by watching this video. Thank you so much !!

[@michaelzhu333]

Short and concise explanation, thanks!

[@kimiyamaleki8368]

Thank you so much! I should've known the IV concept to prepare my thesis better and your clip makes me to understand not only IV concept but also 2 stages solution. God bless you!

[@pawalucious89]

Wow. She must be a genius Professor. Am equally stunned and thankful.

[@yassinechaachaa5450]

Ashley i just wanna thank you so much for this explanation. it is simple and to the point.

[@harrisrahman8660]

The best explanation on IVs I have watched on KZbin! Thank you!!

[@vladislavkhaustovich415]

The best explanation of 2SLS!

[@raajarai]

Indeed!

[@abdullahb4367]

you're amazing, clear and concise, you get the whole idea in 4 minutes

[@lorraine2156]

hi im writing my thesis and i am using iv to do my regression, i've found your explanation particularly clear and useful, i just figured out my A, B and C variables, thanks a lot really!!!! hope you have a really good day :)

[@ccatcat123tw]

I really like your video! I normally watch stats vid with pretty anime or so, but yours is even beyond that!!

[@marcboswell9861]

Very helpful! I'm taking my first semester of econometrics now, and this is perfect!

[@mukeshkumar-oi7jl]

you have explianed in so convincing way... keep on good work

[@monikadhingra2121]

This was short and simple that too using a real life easy example.I request you to kindly share more such examples in the same easy language showing us the easily identifiable relation. More examples of same concept will put this concept in the core of our brain.Thanks!

[@donharris8846]

Excellent explanation. I watched several videos on this, but this one brought it home! Thanks

[@maarie]

THANK YOU SO MUCH! this is so easy to understand the way you explained it!

[@sunakshibajpai6527]

Thanks for explaining IV so simply.

[@jayassharma659]

Fantastic video, thank you!

[@mauriciotorocea]

you rules! amazing explanation. thank u

[@aminaslani4411]

Fantastic Explanation!

[@emileemile8980]

This is ridiculously clear, I understand it so much better now! Hell I even like it!

[@luyingyang3770]

Very clear explanation!! Thank you

[@dessireecuichan7728]

You are an absolute gem at explaining 💖 Thank you so much

[@cjh4467]

You're a great teacher. Thank you.

[@nanaagyeman8197]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge!

[@SovletUnion]

Great Explanation!

[@Mattmfu10]

This is great. I am grappling with IV right now and we actually had a question on a paper dealing with military participation on wages with draft# as the IV. One thing I am still trying to wrap my head around: As I understand it the 2SLS coefficient is ONLY the effect on "compliers" which in this case would be those who went to war when drafted and those who did not join the military if not drafted. But this seems to me to create a selection bias of its own, as the "never takers" are those who have the most resources to dodge the draft (in that time college attendance was sufficient AFAIK). Wouldnt this downward bias the coefficient of military participation on wages? Or am I misunderstanding? Or maybe this was the point the professor was trying to tease out, that if compliance with the instrument is correlated with the outcome (wages), then it is a bad IV.

[@marcwonoadi3799]

Perfect. Thanks so much!

[@nickgeary7919]

Thank you and hope you’re doing well!!

you saved me from blundering in my research paper 😂

[@camilapombo3419]

This is soooo helpful! Thank you :))

[@mahaa3244]

Thank u so so so much! 😘

[@danielkrupah]

What should be the relationship between the control variables and the IV?

[@helenavalente4392]

So which ones are the endogeneous variables?

[@chackobabu1308]

Thanks a LOT!

[@kriti3011]

excellent!

[@firme9211]

thanks..can you explaning somethings of 3 stage least squares (la méthode de triple moindres carrées).

[@윤상호학생경제학부]

Hmm... however, it seems to me that people who display signs of mental illness are likely to have a high draft number, which would imply a correlation between Draft NO. and Depression. What do you think?

[@윤상호학생경제학부]

Maybe we could add W: depression as an exogeneous variable then maybe we could argue for exogeneity more easily

[@enkii82]

Must the IV be with only time-multivariate data? can it be done with just cross-section?

[@MN-lp8jj]

why is there no theoretical association between draft number and depression? I feel like a person with low draft number, even though unsure about whether going to the war in the future, still can be more depressed than others.

[@donharris8846]

When she says “we USE” beta 0, beta 1, and draft numbers to “come up with War hat” what does she mean? Are those variables and coefficients added, multiplied or is there some other formula to calculate? Love the video by the way

[@bigfriki]

You calculate them with Ordinary Least Squares, which the statistics software does automatically, but here you also have the manual formula for a simple linear regression: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ordinary_least_squares#Simple_linear_regression_model On Wikipedia beta 0 is alpha and beta 1 is beta. Hope that helps.

[@Marinkaasje]

How does this relate to mediation? Isn't it similar?

[@kevvroussel2838]

thanks !

[@villageandanimals6986]

Thanks!

[@danielkrupah]

Very beautiful lady. Excellent explanations

[@patrickhasch2455]

Thank you! :)

[@jonathanosika9068]

[@gabrielwong1991]

Can you just look at the correlation between the instrument and the dependent variable and if their correlation is 0 then we say it is a good instrument?

[@jeroenvandepasch7875]

Notice that there is a correlation between the instrument and the dependent variable. Namely, via the independent variable (war participation). Having 0 correlation between the instrument and the dependent variable would therefore not help us to show this relationship and therefore would be considered not a good instrument. We hope to find an instrument such that "z influences x which influences y". This would mean that cov(y,z|x)=0 (that is, if we observe the value of x, knowing z tells us nothing incremental about y), but it does not mean that cov(y,z)=0 unconditional on x.

[@DistortedV12]

Just need the high level algorithm..the other videos just ramble ad nauseum

[@zes3813]

thanks, but to all the other econ prof: such a useless thing, I hate all the useless econometrics the people try to force onto the phds, historical correlation doesn't suggest causation. also, this is a loopy logic that doesn't pass, after all, if war is not correlated with some sht, then the numbers would, if the war is not correlated with sht, then the numbers wouldn't, the so called instrument is just an additional veil of nonsense, not an actual instrument. the economists just use complex useless things to look at simple numbers while spending less than 1% of time to think about true common sense. also, the errors of the regression will never be normal and it will never reflect any true probability because it's not and could just all be coincidence and errors, these so called economists have no real world intuition or experience, just imagining in their ivory towers with overly complicated totally useless models and superficial things which doesn't pass common sense. no such thing as estabilishing causality or would use, howx etc. about it, cepthem, no depresx for suchx, anyx, think any but not such nonsense

[@bubbleworld4172]

wow, what a rant 😂

[@impieman10]

Hey, if you watched the video you'll notice that thinking about the true common sense is more than half of it. The numbers are there just to shed some logical light on our bias, most of the work here is actual reflection on real world intuition.
