This note argues that nonparametric regression not only relaxes functional form assumptions vis-a-vis parametric … regression, but that it also permits endogenous control variables. To control for selection bias or to make an exclusion … restriction in instrumental variables regression valid, additional control variables are often added to a regression. If any of …
