Simple many-instruments robust standard errors through concentrated instrumental variables

Paul Bekker and Tom Wansbeek

Economics Letters, 2016, vol. 149, issue C, 52-55

Abstract: In a weak and many instruments setting, 2SLS can be severely biased towards OLS and the standard errors can be way too small. LIML is an attractive alternative, especially when the many-instruments robust (MIR) standard errors are used as proposed by Bekker (1994).
