Explore the first hour of Felix Elwert’s seminar on Instrumental Variables (IV), covering the history and foundational concepts behind this powerful causal inference technique.
About this Seminar
This hands-on course provides a deep dive into instrumental variables (IV) analysis, a key method for addressing selection bias, unobserved confounding, and imperfect compliance in both experimental and observational studies. You’ll learn IV fundamentals, from the Wald estimator to advanced techniques like non-parametric exclusion tests.
The seminar blends modern potential-outcomes notation, directed acyclic graphs (DAGs), and algebraic methods to build a strong conceptual and practical understanding. Key topics include weak instruments, two-stage least squares (2SLS), natural experiments, compliance classes, and Mendelian randomization. Through real-world examples and Stata applications, you'll gain the tools to recognize, test, and apply IV methods in your own research.
