Additive nonparametric regression in the presence of endogenous regressors
Ozabaci, Deniz; Henderson, Daniel J.; Su, Liangjun - 2014
In this paper we consider nonparametric estimation of a structural equation model under full additivity constraint. We propose estimators for both the conditional mean and gradient which are consistent, asymptotically normal, oracle efficient and free from the curse of dimensionality. Monte...

Estimating Returns to Education When the IV Sample is Selective
Wang, Le - 2013
The literature estimating returns to education has often utilized spousal education and parental education as instrument variables (IV). However, due to usual survey designs, both IVs are available only for the individuals whose spouse or parents are present in the same household. The IV...

Regression Discontinuity Design with Many Thresholds
Bertanha, Marinho - 2019
Numerous empirical studies employ regression discontinuity designs with multiple cutoffs and heterogeneous treatments. A common practice is to normalize all the cutoffs to zero and estimate one effect. This procedure identifies the average treatment effect (ATE) on the observed distribution of...

Regression-Adjusted Estimation of Quantile Treatment Effects under Covariate-Adaptive Randomizations
Jiang, Liang; Phillips, Peter C. B.; Tao, Yubo; Zhang, … - 2021
This paper examines regression-adjusted estimation and inference of unconditional quantile treatment effects (QTEs) under covariate-adaptive randomizations (CARs). Datasets from field experiments usually contain extra baseline covariates in addition to the strata indicators. We propose to...
