نویسنده
چکیده
This note demonstrates identification of Unconditional Partial Effects introduced by Firpo, Fortin, and Lemieux (2009) in nonseparable triangular models with endogenous regressors via a control variable approach, as employed by Imbens and Newey (2009). JEL Classification: C14, C31

A New Framework for Estimation of Quantile Treatment Effects: Nonseparable Disturbance in the Presence of Covariates
This paper introduces a new framework for quantile estimation. Quantile regression techniques have proven to be extremely valuable in understanding the relationship between explanatory variables and the conditional distribution of the outcome variable. Quantile regression allows the effect of the explanatory variables to vary based on a nonseparable disturbance term, frequently interpreted as “...
متن کاملUnconditional Quantile Regression for Panel Data with Exogenous or Endogenous Regressors∗
Unconditional quantile treatment effects are difficult to estimate in the presence of fixed effects. Panel data are frequently used because fixed effects or differences are necessary to identify the parameters of interest. The inclusion of fixed effects or differencing of data, however, changes the interpretation of the estimates. This paper introduces a quantile estimator for panel data which ...
متن کاملIdentifying Demand with Multidimensional Unobservables: A Random Functions Approach
We explore the identification of nonseparable models without relying on the property that the model can be inverted in the econometric unobservables. In particular, we allow for infinite dimensional unobservables. In the context of a demand system, this allows each product to have multiple unobservables. We identify the distribution of demand both unconditional and conditional on market observa...
متن کاملQuantile and Average Effects in Nonseparable Panel Models
This paper gives identification and estimation results for quantile and average effects in nonseparable panel models, when the distribution of period specific disturbances does not vary over time. Bounds are given for interesting effects with discrete regressors that are strictly exogenous or predetermined. We allow for location and scale time effects and show how monotonicity can be used to sh...
متن کاملTesting Identifying Assumptions in Nonseparable Panel Data Models
Recent work on nonparametric identification of average partial effects (APEs) from panel data require restrictions on individual or time heterogeneity. Identifying assumptions under the “generalized first-differencing” category, such as time homogeneity (Chernozhukov, Fernandez-Val, Hahn, and Newey, 2013), have testable equality restrictions on the distribution of the outcome variable. This pap...
