  1. Instrumental Variables Regression (SW Chapter 12)

  2. Two Conditions for Valid Instrument

  3. Estimation 1of via 2SLS

  4. IV Regression, Graphically

  5. IV Regression, Algebraically

  6. Example #1: Supply and demand

  7. So we need a variable which shifts supply but not demand!

  8. 2SLS in the supply-demand example

  9. Example #2: Test scores and class size

  10. Properties of

  11. Example: Cigarette demand

Old “ivreg” command vs. “ivregress: http://www.ats.ucla.edu/stat/stata/seminars/stata10/endogenous.htm
