Who wears the trousers? A semiparametric analysis of decision power in couples

Lührmann, Melanie; Maurer, Jürgen - 2007

Decision processes among couples depend on the balance of power between the partners, determining the welfare of household members as well as household outcomes. However, little is known about the determinants of power. The collective model of household behavior gives an operational definition...

A method of moments estimator for semiparametric index models

Donkers, Bas; Schafgans, Marcia M. A. - London School of Economics (LSE) - 2005

We propose an easy to use derivative based two-step estimation procedure for semi-parametric index models. In the first step various functionals involving the derivatives of the unknown function are estimated using nonparametric kernel estimators. The functionals used provide moment conditions...

A method of moments estimator for semiparametric index models

Donkers, Bas; Schafgans, Marcia M - Suntory and Toyota International Centres for Economics … - 2005

the influence of the indices. Keywords: Semiparametric estimation, multiple index models, average derivative … multiple index models, where so far, the number of indices has been assumed known. An exception to this is the projection … important, though, is the result that with these additional average derivative functionals the parameters in multiple index …
