This paper develops a test for monotonicity of nonparametric regression models under endogeneity, which in its generality is novel in the literature.  The test statistic, which is built upon a second order U-process, introduces 'correction terms' based on control functions that purge the...

This paper examines how a changing climate may affect rice production and how Vietnamese farmers are likely to adapt to various climatic conditions using an innovative yield function approach, taking into account sample selection bias and endogeneity of inputs. Model results suggest that...

The purpose of this paper is the presentation of distribution theory for generic estimators based on the pairwise comparison of observations in problems where identification is achieved through the use of control functions. The controls can be specified semi- or non-parametrically. The criterion...
