Abstract
Consider two parametric models. At least one is correctly specified, but we do not know which. Both models include a common vector of parameters. An estimator for this common parameter vector is called Doubly Robust (DR) if it is consistent no matter which model is correct. We provide a general technique for constructing DR estimators (assuming the models are over identified). Our Over-identified Doubly Robust (ODR) technique is a simple extension of the Generalized Method of Moments. We illustrate our ODR with a variety of models. Our empirical application is instrumental variables estimation, where either one of two instrument vectors might be invalid.
