Applied Nonparametric Instrumental Variables Estimation
Instrumental variables are widely used in applied econometrics to achieve identification and carry out estimation and inference in models that contain endogenous explanatory variables. In most applications, the function of interest (e.g., an Engel curve or demand function) is assumed to be known up to finitely many parameters (e.g., a linear model), and instrumental variables are used identify ...
متن کاملSmoothed instrumental variables quantile regression, with estimation of quantile Euler equations∗
This paper develops theory for feasible estimation and testing of finite-dimensional parameters identified by general conditional quantile restrictions. This includes instrumental variables nonlinear quantile regression as a special case, under much weaker assumptions than previously seen in the literature. More specifically, we consider a set of unconditional moments implied by the conditional...
متن کاملNonlinear and Nonparametric Regression and Instrumental Variables
We consider regression when the predictor is measured with error and an instrumental variable is available. The regression function can be modeled linearly, nonlinearly, or nonparametrically. Our major new result shows that the regression function and all parameters in the measurement error model are identified under relatively weak conditions, much weaker than previously known to imply identif...
متن کاملNonparametric Estimation of an Additive Quantile Regression Model
This paper is concerned with estimating the additive components of a nonparametric additive quantile regression model. We develop an estimator that is asymptotically normally distributed with a rate of convergence in probability of n−r/(2r+1) when the additive components are r-times continuously differentiable for some r ≥ 2. This result holds regardless of the dimension of the covariates and, ...
متن کاملSpecification Testing in Nonparametric Instrumental Variables Estimation
In nonparametric instrumental variables estimation, the function being estimated is the solution to an integral equation. A solution may not exist if, for example, the instrument is not valid. This paper discusses the problem of testing the null hypothesis that a solution exists against the alternative that there is no solution. We give necessary and sufficient conditions for existence of a sol...
