Genetic markers as instrumental variables.

Journal of health economics - 1 Jan 2016

von Hinke Stephanie, Davey Smith George, Lawlor Debbie A, Propper Carol, Windmeijer Frank

Abstract excerpt

The use of genetic markers as instrumental variables (IV) is receiving increasing attention from economists, statisticians, epidemiologists and social scientists. Although IV is commonly used in economics, the appropriate conditions for the use of genetic variants as instruments have not been well defined. The increasing availability of biomedical data, however, makes understanding of these conditions crucial to...
