A simple estimator for the correlated random coefficient model

Author

Listed:
  • De Blander, Rembert

Abstract

This note presents an estimator for the linear correlated random coefficient model which is an extension of Garen's (1984) selectivity bias method. The choice between the proposed estimator and IV estimation reflects a trade-off between efficiency and first-stage reduced form robustness.
