摘要翻译:
当两阶段最小二乘估计器的第一阶段拟合较差时,估计器会有偏。我表明更好的第一阶段预测可以缓解这种偏见。在带正态噪声的两阶段线性回归模型中,在第一阶段工具变系数的估计中考虑了收缩。对于至少四个工具变量和一个内生回归,我确定标准的2SLS估计量在偏差方面是占优势的。在第一阶段的高维正态均值问题中,主要的IV估计量应用James-Stein型收缩,然后在第二阶段采用控制函数方法。它保持了结构工具变量方程的不变性。

英文摘要:
The two-stage least-squares (2SLS) estimator is known to be biased when its first-stage fit is poor. I show that better first-stage prediction can alleviate this bias. In a two-stage linear regression model with Normal noise, I consider shrinkage in the estimation of the first-stage instrumental variable coefficients. For at least four instrumental variables and a single endogenous regressor, I establish that the standard 2SLS estimator is dominated with respect to bias. The dominating IV estimator applies James-Stein type shrinkage in a first-stage high-dimensional Normal-means problem followed by a control-function approach in the second stage. It preserves invariances of the structural instrumental variable equations.
