The purpose of this paper is to examine production decisions under output price uncertainty. Using a nonparametric estimation technique to estimate the first four moments of the unknown price distribution and applying duality, we provide a simple empirical framework for the analysis of supply...

The focus of research in this book is to develop the ways of making semiparametric/nonparametric techniques accessible to applied economists. While the papers by H. Bierens, J. Horowitz and R.C. Tiwari et al. deal with semiparametric techniques, the papers by Y. Hong and A. Pagan, J.S. Marron,...

This paper presents recent developments in model selection and model averaging for parametric and nonparametric models. While there is extensive literature on model selection under parametric settings, we present recently developed results in the context of nonparametric models. In applications,...
