Standard approaches to constructing nonparametric confidence bands for functions are frustrated by the impact of bias … overcome this problem it is common practice to either undersmooth, so as to reduce the impact of bias, or oversmooth, and … thereby introduce an explicit or implicit bias estimator. However, these approaches, and others based on nonstandard smoothing …

This paper develops a new method for estimating the demand function for gasoline and the deadweight loss due to an increase in the gasoline tax. The method is also applicable to other goods. The method uses shape restrictions derived from economic theory to improve the precision of a...

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 distributed. The asymptotic normality result holds in...
