Using nonparametric methods, the paper examines the specification of a model to evaluate the distribution of …

The distribution of the value of travel time savings (VTTS) is investigated employing various nonparametric techniques … evaluation of the mean VTTS is accepted against the nonparametric alternative and is preferred among 16 candidates for parametric …

heterogeneity. This paper proposes two nonparametric slope estimation where the unobserved effect is treated as fixed across cross … variable. Simulation results suggest that the new nonparametric estimators perform better than the parametric counterparts. We …. In this paper we estimate nonparametric slope of age and tenure on earnings using NLSY data and compare it to the …
