In this paper we present a generalized self-consistent algorithm that estimates a survivor function with across-interval-censored data. This algorithm is an iterative procedure based on Turnbull's (1974) reallocation idea. At each step of the iteration, the procedure first reduces the...

Given the key role of the taxable income elasticity in designing an optimal tax system there are many studies attempting to estimate this elasticity. To account for nonlinear taxes these studies either use instrumental variables approaches that are not fully consistent, or impose strong...

Many studies have estimated the effect of taxes on taxable income. To account for nonlinear taxes these studies either use instrumental variables approaches that are not fully consistent, or impose strong functional form assumptions. None allow for general heterogeneity in preferences. In this...

This paper considers a semiparametric threshold regression model with two threshold variables,extending Chen et al. (2012) and Kourtellos et al. (2021). The proposed model allows the endogeneity for both threshold variables and the slope regressors. Under the diminishing thresholdeffects...

In this paper, we investigate semiparametric threshold regression models with endogenous threshold variables based on a nonparametric control function approach. Using a series approximation we propose a two-step estimation method for the threshold parameter. For the regression coefficients, we...

We consider partial identification of finite mixture models in the presence of an observable source of variation in the mixture weights that leaves component distributions unchanged, as is the case in large classes of econometric models. We first show that when the number J of component...

We propose and study a class of regression models, in which the mean function is specified parametrically as in the existing regression methods, but the residual distribution is modeled nonparametrically by a kernel estimator, without imposing any assumption on its distribution. This...
