Refer to equations Refer to equations   and   . Assume that u = x , so that the population variation in the error term is the same as it is in x. Suppose that the instrumental variable, z, is slightly correlated with u: Corr(z,u) =.1. Suppose also that z and x have a somewhat stronger correlation: Corr(z,x) =.2.
