PPT-Chapter 12 Instrumental Variables: A Solution to the Endogeneity Problem

Learning Objectives State the two necessary properties of a good instrumental variable In realworld settings articulate the two properties of a good instrument and critique the instruments used by researchers.

Gasoline sales A service station near an interstate highway sells three grades of gasoline: regular, plus, and premium. During the last week, the manager counted the number of cars that purchased these types of gasoline. He kept the counts separate for weekdays and the weekend. The data table has two categorical variables. One distinguishes weekdays from weekends, and the other indicates the type of gas (regular, plus, or premium)..
