Consider a nonseparable model Y=R(X,U) where Y and X are observed, while U is unobserved and conditionally independent of X. This paper provides the first nonparametric test of whether R takes the form of a transformation model, meaning that Y is monotonic in the sum of a function of X plus a...

Many social scientists believe that dumping long lists of explanatory variables into linear regression, probit, logit, and other statistical equations will successfully “control†for the effects of auxiliary factors. Encouraged by convenient software and ever more powerful computing,...

Several bargaining solutions could fail to capture advantage from having sets closer to the same utopia point. If the whole frontier of the set is improved maintaining the same utopia point, these solutions outcome remains stagnant at the same point. We called this phenomena the stagnation...
