NISE Estimation of an Economic Model of Crime

Eric Blankmeyer

Papers from arXiv.org

Abstract: An economic model of crime is used to explore the consistent estimation of a simultaneous linear equation without recourse to instrumental variables. A maximum-likelihood procedure (NISE) is introduced, and its results are compared to ordinary least squares and two-stage least squares. The paper is motivated by previous research on the crime model and by the well-known practical problem that valid instruments are frequently unavailable.
