We consider estimation of a linear or nonparametric additive model in which a few coefficients or additive components are "large" and may be objects of substantive interest, whereas others are "small" but not necessarily zero. The number of small coefficients or additive components may exceed...

We consider estimation of policy relevant treatment effects in a data-rich environ ment where there may be many more control variables available than there are observations. In addition to allowing many control variables, the setting we consider allows heterogeneous treatment effects, endogenous...

In this paper, we provide efficient estimators and honest confidence bands for a variety of treatment effects including local average (LATE) and local quantile treatment effects (LQTE) in data-rich environments. We can handle very many control variables, endogenous receipt of treatment,...
