The nonparametric censored regression model is y = max[c, m(x) + e], where both the regression function m(x) and the … the derivatives of an uncensored nonparametric regression. We then estimate the regression function itself by solving the … usual estimators in uncensored nonparametric regression. We also provide root n estimates of weighted average derivatives of …

We examine the channels through which a randomized early childhood intervention in Colombia led to significant gains in cognitive and socio-emotional skills among a sample of disadvantaged children. We estimate production functions for cognitive and socio-emotional skills as a function of...

This paper analyzes the career progression of skilled and unskilled workers, with a focus on how careers are affected by economic downturns and whether formal skills, acquired early on, can shield workers from the effect of recessions. Using detailed administrative data for Germany for numerous...

We develop an equilibrium lifecycle model of education, marriage and labor supply and consumption in a transferable utility context. Individuals start by choosing their investments in education anticipating returns in the marriage market and the labor market. They then match based on the...
