Searching for rehabilitation in nonparametric regression models with exogenous treatment assignment
Henderson, Daniel J.; Maasoumi, Esfandiar - 2012
This paper offers some new directions in the analysis of nonparamertric models with exogenous treatment assignment. The nonparametric approach opens the door to the examination of potentially different distributed outcomes. When combined with cross-validation, it also identifies potentially...

The bootstrap procedure is based on nonparametric bootstrap applied to kernel-based test statistics, with estimated … "contact sets". We provide regularity conditions under which the bootstrap test is asymptotically valid uniformly over a large …

Nonparametric Tests for Common Values in First-Price Sealed-Bid Auctions
Haile, Philip A.; Hong, Han; Shum, Matthew - 2004
We develop tests for common values at first-price sealed-bid auctions. Our tests are nonparametric, require observation only of the bids submitted at each auction, and are based on the fact that the "winner's curse" arises only in common values auctions. The tests build on recently developed...

Nonparametric tests of stochastic dominance in bivariate distributions, with an application to UK data
Crawford, Ian - 1999
This paper make straightforward extensions to Anderson's (1996) nonparametric statistical tests of stochastic dominance criteria to bivariate distributions. These test are applied to a time series of cross-section datasets on household level total expenditure and non labour market time in the UK.

A nonparametric examination of capital-skill complementarity
Henderson, Daniel J. - 2008
This paper uses nonparametric kernel methods to construct observation-specific elasticities of substitution for a balanced panel of 73 developed and developing countries to examine the capital-skill complementarity hypothesis. The exercise shows some support for capital-skill complementarity,...

The export-productivity link for Brazilian manufacturing firms
Cirera, Xavier; Lederman, Daniel; Mañez Castillejo, Juan A. - 2015
This paper explores the link between exports and total factor productivity (TFP) for Brazilian manufacturing firms over the period 2000-2008, both under the assumption of an exogenous or an endogenous law of motion for productivity. The authors first obtain TFP estimates under each alternative...
