1、1 4We have learned two“sources”of endogeneity.1.Omitted variables 2.Errors in variables4In this handout,we will learn another source of endogeneity:Simultaneity.24In econometrics,“endogeneity”usually means that an explanatory variable is correlated with the error term.4In simultaneous equation model

2、s,endogeneity means that the observed variable is determined by the equilibrium.For example,an observed quantity is determined by the equilibrium between demand and supply.4When a variable is endogenous in simultaneous equation sense,it is usually endogenous in econometric sense(i.e.,correlated with

3、 the error term).We will see this soon.34Consider the following model describing equilibrium quantity of labor(in hours)in agricultural sector in a country.Labor supply:hs=1w+1z1+u1Labor demand:hd=2w+2z2+u2hs is the hours of labor supplied,and hd is the hours of labor demanded.These quantities depen

4、ds on the wage rate,w,and other factors,z1 and z2.44z1 would be the wage rate of the manufacturing sector.If the manufacturing wage increases,people would move to manufacturing sector,reducing hours worked in agricultural sector.z1 is called the observed demand shifter.u1 is called the unobserved de

5、mand shifter.4z2 would be agricultural land area.The more land available,more demand for labor.z2 is the observed supply shifter.u1 is the unobserved supply shifter.54Demand and supply describes entirely different relationships.4The observed labor quantity and wage rate are determined by the equilib

6、irum between these two equations.The equilibrium:hs=hd64Consider you have country level data.Then,for each country,we observe only the equilibirum labor supply and wage rate.Demand:hi=1wi+1zi1+ui1 Supply:hi=2wi+2zi2+ui2where i is the country subscript.These two equations constitute a simultaneous eq

7、uations model(SEM).These two equations are called the structural equations.1,1,2,2 are called the structural parameters.74In SEM framework,hi and wi are endogenous variables because they are determined by the equilibrium between the two equations.4In the same way,zi1 and zi2 are exogenous variables

8、because they are determined outside of the model.4u1 and u2 are called the structural errors.4One more important point:Without z1 or z2,there is no way to distinguish whether one equation is demand or supply.84Consider the following simultaneous equation model.y1=1y2+1z1+u1.(1)y2=2y1+2z2+u2.(2)In th

9、is model,y1 and y2 are endogenous variables since they are determined by the equilibrium between the two equations.z1 z2 are exogenous variables.94Since z1 and z2 are determined outside of the model,we assume that z1 and z2 are uncorrelated with both of the structural errors.4Thus,by definition,the

10、exgoneous variables in SEM are exogenous in econometric sense as well.4In addition,the two structural errors,u1&u2,are assumed to be uncorrelated with each other.104Now,solve the equations(1)and(2)for y1 and y2,then you get the following reduced form equations.y1=11z1+12z2+v1 y2=21z1+22z2+v2 where 1

11、1=1/(1-1 2)112=1 2/(1-1 2)v1=(u1+1 u2)/(1-1 2)21=21/(1-2 1)22=2/(1-2 1)v2=(2u1+u2)/(1-2 1)These parameters are called the reduced form parameters.114You can check that v1 and v2 are uncorrelated with z1 and z2.Therefore,you can estimate these reduced form parameters by OLS(Just apply OLS separately

12、for each equation).124However,you cannot estimate the structural equations with OLS.For example,consider the first structural equation.y1=1y2+1z1+u1Notice that Cov(y2,u1)=2/(1-21)E(u12)=2/(1-21)21 0Thus,y2 is correlated with u1(assuming that 2 0.)In other words,y2 is endogenous in econometric sense.

13、134Thus,endogenous variables in SEM are usually endogenous in econometric sense as well.4Thus,you cannot apply OLS to the structural equations.4Cov(y2,u1)=2/(1-21)21 can be used to predict the direction of bias.If this is positive,OLS estimate of 1 will be biased upward.If it is negative,it will be

14、biased downward.4The formula above does not carry over to more general models.But we can use this as a guide to check the direction of the bias.144Suppose that you are interested in estimating the effect of police size on the city murder rate.4Notice that the supply of murder would be a function of

15、police size.But the demand for police is a function of murder rates.154Thus,the observed murder rate and the police size are determined simultaneously by the following model.(Murder)=1(police)+10+1(Income per capita)+u1.(3)(Police)=2(Murder)+20+2(other vars)+u2.(4)Allthe variables are the city-level

16、 variables.(Murder)is the number of murders per capita.(Police)is the number of police officers per capita.We are interested in estimating the effect of police on the murder rate:equation(3).164However,since murder rate and police force are determined simultaneously,(police)is endogenous in equation

17、(3).Thus OLS estimate for 1 is biased.Question:What would be the direction of the bias?174When we learned OLS,a parameter was said to be identified when the explanatory variable is not correlated with the error.In 2SLS chapter,we learned how to identify(i.e.,eliminate the bias)by apply IV method.4In

18、 SEM,the term identification is used slightly differently.184Suppose the following model describing the supply and demand.Supply:q=1p+1z1+u1Demand:q=2p+u1Note that supply curve has an observed supply shifter z1,but demand has no obsedved supply shifter.Given the data on q,p and z1,which equation can

19、 be estimated?That is,which is an identified equation?1920DemandSupply:location is different depending on the value of z1.These are the data points.Notice:data points trace the demand curve.Thus,it is the demand equation that can be estimated.4Because there is observed supply shifter z1 which is not

20、 contained in demand equation,we can identify the demand equation.4It is the presence of an exogenous variable in the supply equation that allows us to estimate the demand equation.4In SEM,identification is used to mean which equation can be estimated.214Now turn to a more general case.(z11z1k)and(z

21、21 )may contain the same variables,but may contain different variables as well.When one equation contains exogenous variables not contained in the other equation,this means that we have imposed exclusion restrictions.22222212112202111111121101uzzyyuzzyyllkklz24The condition for identification is the

22、 following.The condition for identification:The first equation is identified if and only if the second equation contains at least one exogenous variable(non zero coefficient)that is excluded from the first equation.234The above condition have two components.First,at least one exogenous variable shou

23、ld be excluded from the first equation(order condition).Second,the excluded variable should have non zero coefficients in the second equation(rank condition).4The identification condition for the second equation is just a mirror image of the statement.244Labor supply of married working women.Labor s

24、upply equation:Wage offer equation:In the model,hours and lwage are endogenous variables.All other variables are exogenous.(Thus,we are ignoring the endogeneity of educ arising from omitted ability.)25114131211101)(6uomeNonWifeInckidsageeduclwagehours22232221302expexpueduchourslwage4Suppose that you

25、 are interested in estimating the first equation.4Since exp and exp2 are excluded from the first equation,the order condition is satisfied for the first equation.The rank condition is that,at least one of exp and exp2 has a non zero coefficient in the second equation.Assuming that the rank condition

26、 is satisfied,the first equation is identified.4In a similar way,you can see that the second equation is also identified.264Once we have determined that an equation is identified,we can estimate it by two stage least square.274Consider the labor supply equation example again.You are interested in es

27、timating the first equation.4Suppose that the first equation is identified(both order and rank conditions are satisfied).4lwage is correlated with u1.Thus,OLS cannot be used.28114131211101)(6uomeNonWifeInckidsageeduclwagehours22232221302expexpueduchourslwage4However,exp and exp2 can be used as instr

28、uments for lwage in the first equation.4Why?First,exp and exp2 are uncorrelated with u1 by assumption of the model(instrument exogeneity satisfied).Second exp and exp2 are correlated with lwage by the rank condition(instrument relevance satisfied).294In general,you can use the excluded exogenous var
