| contents | This paper provides partial identification of various binary choice models with misreported dependent variables. We propose two distinct approaches by exploiting different instrumental variables respectively. In the first approach, the instrument is assumed to only affect the true dependent variable but not misreporting probabilities. The second approach uses an instrument that influences misreporting probabilities monotonically while having no effect on the true dependent variable. Moreover, we derive identification results under additional restrictions on misreporting, including bounded/monotone misreporting probabilities. We use simulations to demonstrate the robust performance of our approaches, and apply the method to study educational attainment. |
