Household formation analysis is both a multidimensional economical and statistical problem of great complexity. Since most of the literature tries to incorporate multiple economic aspects, there is, considering the extraordinary practical relevance of the problem, a remarkable gap between theory...

This paper presents a comprehensive approach to estimation and hypothesis testing under a set of full restrictions, some of these arising from adding-up conditions on the endogenous variable. In contrast to the existing statistical literature, this paper uses an argumentation style familiar from...

Recently, using mixed data on Canadian housing, Parmeter, Henderson, and Kumbhakar (Journal of Applied Econometrics 2007; 22: 695-699) found that a nonparametric approach for estimating a hedonic house price function is superior to formerly suggested parametric and semiparametric specifications.
