We propose a framework for estimation and inference about the parameters of an economic model and predictions based on … it, when the model may be misspecified. We rely on a local asymptotic approach where the degree of misspecification is … of the reference model, based on simple one-step adjustments. We construct confidence intervals that contain the true …

Many studies have estimated the effect of taxes on taxable income. To account for nonlinear taxes these studies either use instrumental variables approaches that are not fully consistent or impose strong functional form assumptions. None allow for general heterogeneity in preferences. In this...

Often semiparametric estimators are asymptotically equivalent to a sample average. The object being averaged is referred to as the influence function. The influence function is useful in formulating primitive regularity conditions for asymptotic normality, in efficiency comparions, for bias...

Given the key role of the taxable income elasticity in designing an optimal tax system there are many studies attempting to estimate this elasticity. To account for nonlinear taxes these studies either use instrumental variables approaches that are not fully consistent, or impose strong...

We study nonparametric estimation of density functions for undirected dyadic random variables (i.e., random variables de?ned for all unordered pairs of agents/nodes in a weighted network of order N). These random variables satisfy a local dependence property: any random variables in the network...
