Instrumental Variables and Quasi-Experiments. IV identification, LATE, and regression discontinuity.

Foundations and canonical references

The standard treatments of instrumental variables and quasi-experiments approach the subject from complementary angles. Angrist, Mostly Harmless Econometrics (2009) is the anchor reference for the subject and lays out the core definitions, theorems, and worked examples that practitioners return to.

Open methodological questions for instrumental variables and quasi-experiments include sharpening the bridges between foundational theory and computational practice, extending classical results to broader or more structured settings, and integrating the techniques surveyed above with adjacent mathematical disciplines. The references listed in this page are the entry points that current work builds on.
