A two-step generalized method of moments estimation procedure can be made robust to heteroskedasticity and autocorrelation in the data by using a nonparametric estimator of the optimal weighting matrix. This paper addresses the issue of choosing the corresponding smoothing parameter (or...

The aim of this paper is to provide simple nonparametric methods to estimate finitemixture models from data with repeated measurements. Three measurements suffice for the mixture to be fully identified and so our approach can be used even with very short panel data. We provide distribution...

In nonparametric instrumental variables estimation, the mapping that identifies the function of interest, g say, is discontinuous and must be regularised (that is, modified) to make consistent estimation possible. The amount of modification is contolled by a regularisation parameter. The optimal...

A parameter of an econometric model is identified if there is a one-to-one or many-to-one mapping from the population distribution of the available data to the parameter. Often, this mapping is obtained by inverting a mapping from the parameter to the population distribution. If the inverse...

We provide general compactness results for many commonly used parameter spaces in nonparametric estimation. We consider three kinds of functions: (1) functions with bounded domains which satisfy standard norm bounds, (2) functions with bounded domains which do not satisfy standard norm bounds,...

We propose an optimal-transport-based matching method to nonparametrically estimate linear models with independent latent variables. The method consists in generating pseudo-observations from the latent variables, so that the Euclidean distance between the model’s predictions and their matched...

Beta-sorted portfolios-portfolios comprised of assets with similar covariation to selected risk factors-are a popular tool in empirical finance to analyze models of (conditional) expected returns. Despite their widespread use, little is known of their statistical properties in contrast to...

We develop two new methods for selecting the penalty parameter for the l1 -penalized high-dimensional M-estimator, which we refer to as the analytic and bootstrap-aftercross-validation methods. For both methods, we derive nonasymptotic error bounds for the corresponding l1 -penalized M-estimator...
