Identification of Nonseparable Models with Endogenous Control Variables

Abstract

We study identification of the treatment effects in a class of nonseparable models with the presence of potentially endogenous control variables. We show that given the treatment variable and the controls are measurably separated, the usual conditional independence condition or availability of excluded instrument suffices for identification.
