I have to perform a 2 SLS regression with multiple endogenous variable.
1st endogenous variable: a
Instrument variable for 1st endogenous variable: b c d
2nd endogenous variable: p
Instrument variable for 2nd endogenous variable: q r s
My final model: y = a p b c d q r s.
is there any simple way to do it?
for example using proc syslin or something like that ?
Typically, when there is only one dependent variable in your model you use all the instrumental variables to instrument both endogenous variables; however, if you want to limit which instrumental variables are used to correct for the endogeneity of each endogenous explanatory variable you could use the following:
proc tmodel data=yourdata;
eq.a = y - ka*a;
eq.p = y - kp*p;
fit a p / ols 2sls;
instruments (a, b c d) (p, q r s);
quit;
In both PROC MODEL and its multithreaded replacement, PROC TMODEL, you can estimate your model using two stage least squares with the following statements:
proc tmodel data=yourdata;
y = ka*a + kp*p;
fit y / 2sls;
instruments b c d q r s;
quit;
Let me know if you need any further clarifications on how to use PROC (T)MODEL for your problem.
but how do i assign different instrumental variables to different endogenous variables? like how to separate them to their respective endogenous variable ?
