Why we can use E[T|X, W, Z] as the instrument in DRIV/OrthoIV approaches?
I am not sure why it is reasonable to use E[T|X, W, Z] as the Z in DRIV/OrthoIV. Is there any paper I can refer to? Also, In my simulation, it seems that we need to perform this projection when the instrument is weak (i.e., a small correlation between T and Z). I wonder whether the weak instrument case is the case for which the projection approach is designed?
Thanks!
+1 - any reference to using the projection as an instrument, and when that may or may not be desirable?
