We study the problem of nonparametric regression when the regressor is endogenous, which is an important nonparametric instrumental variables (NPIV) regression in econometrics and a difficult ill-posed inverse problem with unknown operator in statistics. We first establish a general upper bound...

Many empirical questions can be cast as inference on a parameter selected through optimization. For example, researchers may be interested in the effectiveness of the best policy found in a randomized trial, or the best-performing investment strategy based on historical data. Such settings give...

In an important class of econometric problems, researchers select a target parameter by maximizing the Euclidean norm of a data-dependent vector. Examples that can be cast into this frame include threshold regression models with estimated thresholds and structural break models with estimated...

In this paper, we propose a general method for testing inequality restrictions on nonparametric functions. Our framework includes many nonparametric testing problems in a uni ed framework, with a number of possible applications in auction models, game theoretic models, wage inequality, and...

This paper introduces a new hypothesis test for the null hypothesis H0 : f(Ø) = Y0, where f(.) is a known function, Y0 is a known constant, and Ø is a parameter that is partially identified by a moment (in)equality model. The main application of our test is sub-vector inference in moment...

This paper considers inference in logistic regression models with high dimensional data. We propose new methods for estimating and constructing confidence regions for a regression parameter of primary interest α0, a parameter in front of the regressor of interest, such as the treatment variable...
