  3. Instrument Variable Estimation Procedure: A Review Instrument – Correlated Variable: Choose a variable that is correlated with the “problem” explanatory variable (the explanatory variable suffering from measurement error that creates the ordinary least squares (OLS) bias problem). Regression 1 Dependent Variable:“Problem” explanatory variable. Explanatory Variable: Instrument, the correlated variable. Regression 2 Dependent Variable: Original dependent variable Explanatory Variable:Estimate of the “problem” explanatory variable based on the results from Regression 1. Two Stage Least Squares (2SLS): An Instrumental Variable Two Step Approach – A Second Estimation Procedure 1st Stage: Estimate the variable that is creating the problem, the explanatory endogenous variable: Dependent variable: “Problem” explanatory variable. The endogenous explanatory variable in the original simultaneous equation model. The variable that creates the bias problem. Explanatory variables: All exogenous variables. 2nd Stage: Estimate the original models using the estimate of the “problem” explanatory endogenous variable Dependent variable: Original dependent variable. Explanatory variables: Estimate of the “problem” explanatory variable, the endogenous explanatory variable, based on the 1st stage and any relevant exogenous explanatory variables.

  4. Endogenous Variables: Qt and Pt Exogenous Variables: FeedPt and Inct 1st Stage: Estimate the variable that is creating the problem, the explanatory endogenous variable: Dependent variable: “Problem” explanatory variable. The endogenous explanatory variable in the original simultaneous equation model. The variable that creates the bias problem. In this case, the price of beef, P, is the problem explanatory variable. Explanatory variables: All exogenous variables. In this case, the exogenous variables are FeedP and Inc. 1st Stage: Dependent variable: P Explanatory variables: FeedP and Inc Estimated Equation:EstP = 33.027 + 1.0562FeedP + .018825Inc

  5. 2nd Stage: Estimate the original models using the estimate of the “problem” explanatory endogenous variable Dependent variable: Original dependent variable. In this case, the original explanatory variable is the quantity of beef, Q. Explanatory variables: Estimate of the “problem” explanatory variable, the endogenous explanatory variable, based on the 1st stage and any relevant exogenous explanatory variables. 2nd Stage – Beef Market Demand Model: Dependent variable: Q Explanatory Variables: EstP and Inc Estimated Equation:EstQD = 149,107  314.3EstP + 23.26Inc 2nd Stage – Beef Market Supply Model: Dependent variable: Q Explanatory Variables: EstP and FeedP Estimated Equation:EstQS = 108,292 + 921.5EstP 1,305.2 FeedP
