Question:

Consider the regression model with a single regressor: \(Y_{i}=\beta_{0}+\beta_{1} X_{i}+u_{i}\). Suppose the least squares assumptions in Key Concept 4.3 are satisfied.

a. Show that \(X_{i}\) is a valid instrument. That is, show that Key Concept is satisfied with \(Z_{i}=X_{i}\).

b. Show that the IV regression assumptions in Key Concept 12.4 are satisfied with this choice of \(Z_{i}\).

c. Show that the IV estimator constructed using \(Z_{i}=X_{i}\) is identical to the OLS estimator.
