2SLS and IV

Postby ramzan » Tue Nov 09, 2010 6:51 am

what is the difference between IV and 2SLS.

when they become equal.

2SLS is a generalization of IV. The two are the same when the number of instruments equals the number of coefficients.

can we say that they are equal when the equation is exactly identified .

In 2SLS we replace the endogenous variables with there estimated values. but in eviews , for 2SLS we are giving instruments.

Yes, that's exactly the right thing to say.

The two methods are just equivalent ways of expressing the same underlying mathematics.

One more thing that IVLS can only be applied to exactly identified equation where as the 2SLS can be applied to exactly and over-identified equation as well.

I have the following model
Y_1t=β_10+β_11 Y_2t+ β_12 X_(1t+) β_13 X_(2t)+ u_1t
Y_2t=β_20+β_21 Y_1t+u_2t
The first equation is the income equation where as the second equation is the money supply equation.
Y1:income
Y2: stock of money
X1:investment expenditure
X2: Government expenditure on goods and expenditure.

in the Second data ,i have tried both manually and built in method. Parameters are same but the SE are different, please explain, File is attached .

thanks

When you substitute the fitted values into the second stage, standard errors are computed incorrectly. It's not a software issue; doing this is called the "forbidden regression." That's why one should always use the TSLS command.

one more i want to ask is that is this correct that the IVLS can only be applied to exactly identified equations where as the 2SLS can be applied to over-identified equation and exactly identified equations.

That's a reasonable way to think about the difference, but some of this is just terminology. First, 2sls and IV are identical in the just identified case so 2sls in that case is just a different way of thinking about the estimator, it's not a different estimator. Second, you can redo 2sls as a straighforward instrumental variable estimator by using the fitted values from the first stage as instruments in IV.

Dear all...
excuse me, how can I view the first stage result/report in eviews??

Thanks

No software actually estimates in two stages. If you want to see results from a first stage regression, you have to run that regression separately.
