Essay
(Requires Matrix Algebra)The population multiple regression model can be written in
matrix form as Where
Note that the X matrix contains both k endogenous regressors and (r +1)included
exogenous regressors (the constant is obviously exogenous).
The instrumental variable estimator for the overidentified case is
where is a matrix, which contains two types of variables: first the included exogenous regressors plus the constant, and second, instrumental variables.
It is of order .
For this estimator to exist, both and must be invertible. State the conditions under which this will be the case and relate them to the degree of overidentification.
