On the instrumental variable estimation with many weak and invalid instruments

We discuss the fundamental issue of identification in linear instrumental variable (IV) models with unknown IV validity. With the assumption of the ‘sparsest rule’, which is equivalent to the plurality rule but becomes operational in computation algorithms, we investigate and prove the advantages of...
