Testing the correlated random coefficient model

Heckman, James J.; Schmierer, Daniel; Urzua, Sergio - 2010

The recent literature on instrumental variables (IV) features models in which agents sort into treatment status on the basis of gains from treatment as well as on baselinepretreatment levels. Components of the gains known to the agents and acted on by them may not be known by the observing...

Quantile and probability curves without crossing

Chernozhukov, Victor; Fernández-Val, Iván; Galichon, … - 2007

The most common approach to estimating conditional quantile curves is to fit a curve, typically linear, pointwise for each quantile. Linear functional forms, coupled with pointwise fitting, are used for a number of reasons including parsimony of the resulting approximations and good...
