Assumptions Consider the univariate linear regression framework: Yi = β0 + β1 Xi + ui Until now‚ it was assumed that E (ui |Xi ) = 0‚ i.e. conditional mean independence. Let’s relax this assumption and allow the covariance between Xi and ui to be dierent from zero. Our problem here is that ui is not observed. Doing OLS yields inconsistent estimates (remember the OVB formula). In this case we refer to Xi as an endogenous variable. The way to get consistent estimates is to use an
