There are many interesting and widely used estimators of a functional with finite semi-parametric variance bound that depend on nonparametric estimators of nuisance func-tions. We use cross-fitting to construct such estimators with fast remainder rates. We give cross-fit doubly robust...

This paper compares the economic questions addressed by instrumental variables estimators with those addressed by structural approaches. We discuss Marschak's Maxim: estimators should be selected on the basis of their ability to answer well-posed economic problems with minimal assumptions. A key...
