This paper presents an extension to the Oaxaca-Blinder decomposition with continuous groups using a semiparametric approach known as varying coefficients model. To account for potential self-selection into the continuum of groups, the use of inverse mills ratios is expanded upon following the...

Deconvolving kernel estimators when noise is Gaussian entail heavy calculations. In order to obtain the density … estimates numerical evaluation of a specific integral is needed. This work proposes an approximation to the deconvolving kernel … the lost in performance relatively to the true deconvolving kernel, is almost negligible in finite samples. …

In panel data the interest is often in slope estimation while taking account of the unobserved cross sectional heterogeneity. This paper proposes two nonparametric slope estimation where the unobserved effect is treated as fixed across cross section. The first estimator uses first-differencing...
