Æ 0 with Y scalar and X and Z each a k vector. You have a random sample (Yi ,Xi ,Zi : i Æ 1, ...,n). Take the control function equation e Æ u0°Åº with E[uº] Æ 0 and assume for simplicity that u is observed.
Inserting into the structural equation we find Y Æ Z0¯Åu0°Åº. The control function estimator ( b¯, b°) is OLS estimation of this equation.
(a) Show that E[Xº] Æ 0 (algebraically).
(b) Derive the asymptotic distribution of ( b¯, b°) .
