First-stage strength: standard and exposure-robust (effective) F

Source: R/checks.R
ssb_first_stage.Rd

Reports the standard heteroskedasticity-robust first-stage F of the treatment on the constructed instrument, and an exposure-robust "effective" F whose denominator uses the shock-level (AKM-type) variance of the first-stage coefficient — the relevant notion when weak *shocks* are the concern (in the spirit of Montiel Olea & Pflueger 2013, adapted to shift-share).

Usage

ssb_first_stage(design)

Arguments

design

An [ssb_design()] object.

Value

A list (class `ssb_first_stage`) with `F_standard`, `F_effective`, and the first-stage coefficient `pi`.
