Let i = 1, . . . , N index a simple random sample of units drawn from some large population. For each unit we observe the vector of regressors Xi and, for each of the N (N - 1) ordered pairs of units, an outcome Yij . The outcomes Yij and Ykl are independent if their indices are disjoint, but...

We study nonparametric regression in a setting where N(N-1) dyadic outcomes are observed for N randomly sampled units. Outcomes across dyads sharing a unit in common may be dependent (i.e., our dataset exhibits dyadic dependence). We present two sets of results. First, we calculate lower bounds...

We study nonparametric estimation of density functions for undirected dyadic random variables (i.e., random variables de?ned for all unordered pairs of agents/nodes in a weighted network of order N). These random variables satisfy a local dependence property: any random variables in the network...

Let Y be an outcome of interest, X a vector of treatment measures, and W a vector of pre-treatment control variables. Here X may include (combinations of) continuous, discrete, and/or non-mutually exclusive "treatments". Consider the linear regression of Y onto X in a subpopulation homogenous in...

This paper presents econometric methods for measuring the average output effect of reallocating an indivisible input across production units. A distinctive feature of reallocations is that, by definition, they involve no augmentation of resources and, as such, leave the marginal distribution of...
