Here are some examples of the instrumental variables regression model. In each case you are given the number of instruments and the J-statistic. Find the relevant value from the distribution, using a 1% and 5% significance level, and make a decision whether or not to reject the null hypothesis.
(a)Yi = β0 + β1X1i + ui, i = 1, ..., n; Z1i, Z2i are valid instruments, J = 2.58.
(b)Yi = β0 + β1X1i + β2X2i + β3W1i + ui, i = 1, ..., n; Z1i, Z2i, Z3i, Z4i are valid instruments, J = 9.63.
(c)Yi = β0 + β1X1i + β2W1i + β3W2i + β4W3i + ui, i = 1, ..., n; Z1i, Z2i, Z3i, Z4i are valid instruments, J = 11.86.
