Identification in additive error models with discrete endogenous variables

Abstract

In additive error models with a discrete endogenous variable identification cannot be achieved under a marginal covariation condition when the support of instruments is sparse relative to the support of the endogenous variable. An iterated covariation condition with a weak montonicity restriction is shown to have set identifying power.
