This paper proposes a novel positive nonparametric estimator of the conditional variance function without reliance on logarithmic or other transformations. The estimator is based on an empirical likelihood modification of conventional local level nonparametric regression applied to squared mean...

Let H 0 (X) be a function that can be nonparametrically estimated. Suppose E [ Y | X ]= F 0 [ X ß 0 H 0 (X) ] . Many models fit this framework, including latent in- dex models with an endogenous regressor and nonlinear models with sample se- lection. We show that the vector ß 0 and unknown...

nonparametric control function approach. Using a series approximation we propose a two-step estimation method for the threshold … parameter. For the regression coefficients, we consider least-squares estimation in the case of exogenous regressors and two …-stage least-squares estimation in the case of endogenous regressors. We show that our estimators are consistent and derive their …

This note shows that adding monotonicity or convexity constraints on the regression function does not restore well-posedness in nonparametric instrumental variable regression. The minimum distance problem without regularisation is still locally ill-posed

The market for commercial properties is characterised by extreme heterogeneity in demand. In this paper, we aim to gain more insight in the heterogeneity in demand for employment agglomeration and size of the rental property using a two-stage hedonic approach following Bajari and Benkard (2005)....

This paper develops a novel approach that leverages the information contained in expectations datasets to derive empirical measures of beliefs regarding economic shocks and their dynamic effects. Utilizing a panel of expectation revisions for a single variable across multiple horizons, we...
