OeNB-Freitagsseminar with Christiane Baumeister

A Full-Information Approach to Granular Instrumental Variables

OeNB Freitagsseminar with Christiane Baumeister, University of Notre Dame
Modeling how individual units interact to determine aggregate outcomes can be a rich source of identifying information. We use this insight to develop a generalization of granular instrumental variables estimation and show how parameters of a dynamic structural model can be estimated using full-information maximum likelihood. We apply the method to a study of the world oil market. We conclude that the supply responses of Saudi Arabia and adjustments of inventories have historically played a key role in stabilizing the price of oil.
