We consider nonlinear moment restriction semiparametric models where both the dimension of the parameter vector and the number of restrictions are divergent with sample size and an unknown smooth function is involved. We propose an estimation method based on the sieve generalized method of...

In this paper we propose a class of nonparametric tests for anomaly effects in empirical asset pricing models in the framework of nonparametric panel data models with interactive fixed effects. Our approach has two prominent features: one is the adoption of nonparametric functional form to...

Economic theory often provides us with qualitative information on the properties of the functions in a model but rarely indicates their explicit functional form. Among these properties one can find monotonicity, concavity and supermodularity, which involve restricting the sign of the...
