We discuss nonparametric regression models for panel data. A fully nonparametric panel data specification that uses the time variable and the individual identifier as additional (categorical) explanatory variables is considered to be the most suitable. We use this estimator and conventional...

Econometric estimation of production functions is one of the most common methods in appliedeconomic production analysis. These studies usually apply parametric estimation techniques,which obligate the researcher to specify the functional form of the production function. Mostoften, the...
