We present a general framework for studying regularized estimators; such estimators are pervasive in estimation problems wherein \plug-in" type estimators are either ill-defined or ill-behaved. Within this framework, we derive, under primitive conditions, consistency and a generalization of the...

How do macro-financial shocks affect investor behavior and market dynamics? Recent evidence suggests long-lasting effects of personally experienced outcomes on investor beliefs and investment but also significant differences across older and younger generations. We formalize experience-based...

We introduce an equilibrium framework that relaxes the standard assumption that people have a correctly-specified view of their environment. Players repeatedly play a simultaneous-move game where they potentially face both strategic and payoff uncertainty. Each player has a potentially...

This paper considers inference on functionals of semi/nonparametric conditional moment restrictions with possibly nonsmooth generalized residuals, which include all of the (nonlinear) nonparametric instrumental variables (IV) as special cases. These models are often ill-posed and hence it is...
