Conceptual Frameworks and Experimental Design in Simultaneous Equations

Author

Abstract

Using examples drawn from two important papers in the recent literature on weak instruments, we demonstrate how observed experimental outcomes can be pro- foundly inuenced by the di erent conceptual frameworks underlying two exper- imental designs commonly employed when simulating simultaneous equations
