Question:

12.2 Consider the regression model with a single regressor: Yi = b0 + b1Xi + ui.

Suppose that the least squares assumptions in Key Concept 4.3 are satisfied.

b. Show that the IV regression assumptions in Key Concept 12.4 are satisfied with this choice of Zi.

c. Show that the IV estimator constructed using Zi = Xi is identical to the OLS estimator.
