Testing for Weak Instruments in Linear IV Regression
scholar.harvard.eduthe instruments are weak if the conventional α-level Wald test based on IV statistics has an actual size that could exceed a certain threshold r, for example r = 10% when α = 5%. Each of these definitions yields a set of population parameters that defines weak instruments, that is, a “weak instrument set.”

mayoral.iae-csic.orgUsing F to test for weak instruments The concentration parameter 2 = P0Z0ZP/˙2 v is closely related to the F statistic associated to testing H0: P = 0. More speci cally (under conditional homocedasticity) F ’1 + 2/K, where K is the number of instruments. weak instruments ! a low value of 2! a low value of F.

fmwww.bc.edusquares is just that). In the presence of weak instruments (excluded instruments only weakly correlated with included endogenous regressors) the loss of precision will be severe, and IV estimates may be no improvement over OLS. This suggests we need a method to determine whether a particular regressor must be treated as endogenous.
