Abstract

For a single equation in a system of linear equations, estimation by instrumental variables is the standard approach. In practice, however, it is often difficult to find valid instruments. This paper proposes a maximum likelihood method that does not require instrumental variables; it is illustrated by simulation and with a real data set.
