Description: Implementation of the categorical instrumental variable
        (CIV) estimator proposed by Wiemann (2023) <arXiv:2311.17021>.
        CIV allows for optimal instrumental variable estimation in
        settings with relatively few observations per category. To
        obtain valid inference in these challenging settings, CIV
        leverages a regularization assumption that implies existence of
        a latent categorical variable with fixed finite support
        achieving the same first stage fit as the observed instrument.
