We give two new approaches to testing a conditional form of exogeneity. This conditionensures unconfoundedness and identication of eects of interest in structural systems. Asthese approaches do not rely on the absence of causal eects of treatment under the null,they complement earlier methods of...

This paper provides estimators of discrete choice models, including binary, ordered, and multinomial response (choice …) models. The estimators closely resemble ordinary and two stage least squares. The distribution of the model's latent variable … binary choice models the estimator is root N consistent and asymptotically normal. A consistent estimator of the conditional …

This paper considers identification and estimation of the marginal effect of a mismeasured binary regressor in a nonparametric regression, or the conditional average effect of a binary treatment or policy on some outcome where treatment may be misclassified. Misclassification probabilities and...

This paper investigates the presence of fractal dynamics in stock returns. We improve upon existing literature in two ways: i) instead of rescaled-range analysis, we use the more efficient semi- nonparametric procedure suggested by Geweke and Porter-Hudak (GPH, 1983), and ii) to ensure...

, asymptotically normal nonparametric estimators for the functions G and H, where r(v,z,w)=H[vG(z),w], and some related models. This … framework encompasses homothetic and homothetically separable functions, and transformed partly additive models r …(v,z,w)=h[v+g(z),w] for unknown functions g and h. Such models reduce the curse of dimensionality, provide a natural generalization of linear …

The existing literature on binary games with incomplete information assumes that either payoff functions or the distribution of private information are finitely parameterized to obtain point identification. In contrast, we show that, given excluded regressors, payoff functions and the...

This chapter provides background for understanding and applying special regressor methods. This chapter is intended for inclusion in the "Handbook of Applied Nonparametric and Semiparametric Econometrics and Statistics," Co-edited by Aman Ullah, Jeffrey Racine, and Liangjun Su, to be published...
