Package: ivcheck 0.1.2

ivcheck: Tests for Instrumental Variable Validity

Implements tests for the identifying assumptions of instrumental variable models, the local exclusion restriction and monotonicity conditions required for local average treatment effect identification. Covers Kitagawa (2015) <doi:10.3982/ECTA11974>, Mourifie and Wan (2017) <doi:10.1162/REST_a_00622>, and Frandsen, Lefgren, and Leslie (2023) <doi:10.1257/aer.20201860>. Includes a one-shot wrapper that runs all applicable tests on a fitted instrumental variable model. Dispatches on 'fixest' and 'ivreg' model objects.
