In this study, we provide a guideline for dealing with endogenous inputs and environmental variables in Battese and Coelli's (1995) stochastic frontier model. Our Monte Carlo simulations show that our estimators perform well

This study provides a guideline for dealing with endogenous inputs and environmental variables in Battese and Coelli's (1995) stochastic frontier model, which has been used in a vast number of empirical studies. The presence of endogenous variables in Battese and Coelli's model leads to...

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...

This paper develops a nonparametric model that represents how sequences of outcomes and treatment choices influence one another in a dynamic manner. In this setting, we are interested in identifying the average outcome for individuals in each period, had a particular treatment sequence been...

We characterize the types of interactions between foreign direct investment (FDI) and economic growth, and analyze the effect of institutional quality on such interactions. To do this analysis, we develop a class of instrument-based semiparametric system of simultaneous equations estimators for...

Dynamic treatment regimes are treatment allocations tailored to heterogeneous individuals. The optimal dynamic treatment regime is a regime that maximizes counterfactual welfare. We introduce a framework in which we can partially learn the optimal dynamic regime from observational data, relaxing...
