METHODS FOR NONPARAMETRIC AND SEMIPARAMETRIC REGRESSIONS WITH ENDOGENEITY: A GENTLE GUIDE By
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper reviews recent advances in estimation and inference for nonparametric and semiparametric models with endogeneity. It first describes methods of sieves and penalization for estimating unknown functions identified via conditional moment restrictions. Examples include nonparametric instrumental variables regression (NPIV), nonparametric quantile IV regression and many more semi-nonparametric structural models. Asymptotic properties of the sieve estimators and the sieve Wald, quasi-likelihood ratio (QLR) hypothesis tests of functionals with nonparametric endogeneity are presented. For sieve NPIV estimation, the rate-adaptive datadriven choices of sieve regularization parameters and the sieve score bootstrap uniform confidence bands are described. Finally, simple sieve variance estimation and over-identification test for semiparametric two-step GMM are reviewed. Monte Carlo examples are included.

Finite Sample Performance of Semiparametric Estimation Methods for Partially Linear Models Under Nonparametric Endogeneity
In this paper we discuss the derivation, and use a Monte Carlo study to examine the finite sample performances of select estimators put forth in Martins-Filho et al. (2015) for partially linear semiparametric models under nonparametric endogeneity. We find that the selected estimators suciently account for the explicit nonparametric endogeneity of the underlying model in finite samples, and con...

متن کاملEndogeneity in Nonparametric and Semiparametric Regression Models
This paper considers the nonparametric and semiparametric methods for estimating regression models with continuous endogenous regressors. We list a number of different generalizations of the linear structural equation model, and discuss how three common estimation approaches for linear equations — the “instrumental variables,” “fitted value,” and “control function” approaches — may or may not b...
متن کاملSemiparametric Estimation in Time Series of Simultaneous Equations
A system of vector semiparametric nonlinear time series models is studied with possible dependence structures and nonstationarities in the parametric and nonparametric components. The parametric regressors may be endogenous while the nonparametric regressors are strictly exogenous and represent trends. The parametric regressors may be stationary or nonstationary and the nonparametric regressors...
متن کاملEndogeneity and non-response bias in treatment evaluation -nonparametric identification of causal effects by instruments
This paper proposes a nonparametric method for evaluating treatment effects in the presence of both treatment endogeneity and attrition/non-response bias, using two instrumental variables. Making use of a discrete instrument for the treatment and a continuous instrument for non-response/attrition, we identify the average treatment effect on compliers as well as the total population and suggest ...
