Two-Stage Least Squares (2SLS) is an econometric method employed to estimate the parameters of a linear regression model when one or more independent variables are correlated with the error term, a condition known as endogeneity. Its purpose is to obtain consistent and unbiased coefficient estimates in situations where direct regression would yield flawed results, particularly relevant for modeling complex causal relationships in crypto markets.
Mechanism
The 2SLS procedure involves two distinct stages. In the first stage, the endogenous explanatory variable is regressed on a set of instrumental variables (which are correlated with the endogenous variable but not the error term) and all other exogenous variables in the model, producing a predicted value for the endogenous variable. In the second stage, the dependent variable is then regressed on this predicted value and the original exogenous variables, thereby correcting for the endogeneity.
Methodology
The strategic approach for applying 2SLS in crypto analysis requires careful selection and validation of instrumental variables, ensuring they satisfy both relevance and exogeneity conditions. Diagnostic tests for weak instruments are crucial to prevent further bias. This methodology allows systems architects and quantitative analysts to accurately model feedback loops, simultaneity, and other endogenous relationships that frequently arise in the analysis of interconnected digital asset markets.
Endogeneity biases TCA by confounding the market's reaction to a trade with the market conditions that prompted the trade, leading to inaccurate impact measurement.
