Comparing the Estimates from Indirect Inference and 2SLS
The previous two coding exercises used two separate methods to estimate a causal effect using instrumental variables. The estimate from the indirect inference method yielded an effect of $16,319. The 2SLS method estimate was an identical $16,319.
In general, do you think that these two methods will always yield the same results?
