The Second-Stage in an Instrumental Variable Approach to Identify Simultaneous

question 23

Multiple Choice

The second-stage in an instrumental variable approach to identify simultaneous equations is to

• A)include the residuals and the residuals squared from the first-stage in the second-stage estimation.
• B)estimate the regression model and use the results to predict the simultaneously determined independent variables.
• C)estimate the individual equations including the predicted values of the simultaneously determined independent variables on the right hand side of the equation.
• D)include the predicted values of the dependent variables in the second-stage regressions and regress those predictions on the endogenous and exogenous variables.
