Research on instrumental variables and other econometrics
One major area of Angrist's research concerns econometrics in general and impact evaluation in particular. Together with Guido Imbens and Donald Rubin, he pioneered the identification and estimation of local average treatment effects and the use of two-stage least squares (2SLS), i.e. a regression technique using instrumental variables, in the estimation of such effects. With Alan B. Krueger, Angrist and Imbens have also developed a "jackknife" procedure to address a situation in 2SLS where there may be more instruments than endogenous regressors. Other important contributions of Angrist with regard to the use of instrumental variables methods include the estimation of limited dependent variable models and the integration of treatment effect heterogeneity. Angrist has repeatedly argued in favour of instrumental variables methods as part of a general drive for better research designs and more reliable identification of causal effects in empirical economics, including in his popularizations of econometrics with Jörn-Steffen Pischke.
