In nonparametric instrumental variables estimation, the mapping that identifies the function of interest, g say, is … discontinuous and must be regularised (that is, modified) to make consistent estimation possible. The amount of modification is … in applications are not yet available. This paper presents such a method for use in series estimation, where the …

This paper presents a simple method for carrying out inference in a wide variety of possibly nonlinear IV models under weak assumptions. The method is non-asymptotic in the sense that it provides a finite sample bound on the difference between the true and nominal probabilities of rejecting a...

This paper presents a simple non-asymptotic method for carrying out inference in IV models. The method is a non-Studentized version of the Anderson-Rubin test but is motivated and analyzed differently. In contrast to the conventional Anderson-Rubin test, the method proposed here does not require...

This paper is concerned with inference about an unidentified linear function, L(g), where the function g satisfies the relation Y=g(X)+U; E(U |W)=0. In this relation, Y is the dependent variable, X is a possibly endogenous explanatory variable, W is an instrument for X and U is an unobserved...

This paper explains how ill-posedness arises and why it causes problems for estimation. The need to … modify or "regularize" the identifying mapping is explained, and methods for regularization and estimation are discussed …
