This paper reviews recent developments in nonparametric identi.cation of mea- surement error models and their applications in applied microeconomics, in particular, in empirical industrial organization and labor economics. Measurement error models describe mappings from a latent distribution to...

following matching mechanism: take a random draw from the W = wj subgroup of the first population and match her with an …), denote the expected output associated with this match. We show that (i) the AMF is identified when matching is conditionally … exogenous, (ii) conditionally exogenous matching is compatible with a pairwise stable aggregate matching equilibrium under …

The matching method for treatment evaluation does not balance selective unobserved differences between treated and non …, provide a natural application. In an empirical analysis, we first examine the performance of matching versus regression …, where compliance is imperfect among the young. Adjusting the matching estimator for selectivity changes the results towards …

Hedonic pricing with quasilinear preferences is shown to be equivalent to stable matching with transferable utilities …, meaning the matching is one-to-one outside a negligible set. For smooth problems set on compact, connected type spaces such as …

This paper is concerned with developing uniform confidence bands for functions estimated nonparametrically with instrumental variables. We show that a sieve nonparametric instrumental variables estimator is pointwise asymptotically normally mental variables estimator is pointwise asymptotically...

We propose inference procedures for partially identified population features for which the population identification region can be written as a transformation of the Aumann expectation of a properly defined set valued random variable (SVRV). An SVRV is a mapping that associates a set (rather...

This paper studies the nonparametric identification and estimation of voters' preferences when voters are ideological. We establish that voter preference distributions and other parameters of interest can be identified from aggregate electoral data. We also show that these objects can be...

In this paper, we investigate what can be learned about average counterfactual outcomes when it is assumed that treatment response functions are smooth. The smoothness conditions in this paper amount to assuming that the differences in average counterfactual outcomes are bounded under different...

A two-step generalized method of moments estimation procedure can be made robust to heteroskedasticity and autocorrelation in the data by using a nonparametric estimator of the optimal weighting matrix. This paper addresses the issue of choosing the corresponding smoothing parameter (or...
