| Dec 13, 2020 at 21:12 | comment | added | Steve | Sure, and i meant this as one of the uses of IV for natural experiments for precisely this reason. But I am more wondering- beyond the causal paths and technical details, what intuitively are the comparisons we are making in the data when running an IV? | |
