On the equivalence of repartitioned MIMO IV parameter estimators

This paper concerns a particular property of the basic instrumental variable (IV) estimator that is useful for multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) modeling problems where it is not obvious how to partition the available signals between the sets of inputs and outputs. In general, a repartitioning of the input and output signals will result in a different model compared to the original input–output choice. It is important to distinguish cases where a repartitioning results in an algebraically eq
