Writing an IV Formula formally

Postby lucyty » Sat Apr 07, 2018 3:20 pm

Hello, I am new to Eviews and am currently writing my dissertation. I’m sorry if any of this question doesn’t fit the forum guidelines, just let me know and I will change it next time I post.

My question is about how to write my econometric command as a formal formula in my document.

In my case, I have an IV regression:
iv regression Y X2 V (X1 X1*X2 = Z1)

where Y is my dependent variable, X1 is my key explanatory variable which is endogenous due to reverse causality between it and Y and is a dummy variable, X2 is my treatment effect and is also a dummy variable, Z1 is a categoric instrument for the endogeneity of X1 and V is a vector of control variables.

without endogeneity I have a simple regression: Y=a1+b1X1+b2X2+b3X1X2+DV+e

How do I formally write this IV formula in my dissertation ? My thoughts were that I might write it as 2 formulas. 1. a normal regression 2. A regression showing the endogeneity issue but then I haven’t included Z1 in the regressions…

To save me explaining my data and to make the question relevant to all readers I won’t go into the specifics of my data set but if you want any further info to answer my question, please just ask.

Thank you so much!!

Just write the equation and follow it with a sentence saying which variable is endogenous and that you estimated using IV and saying what your instrument is.
