In this paper we investigate the joint conditional distribution of health (life expectancy) and income growth, and its evolution over time. The conditional distributions of these two variables are obtained by applying non-parametric methods to a bivariate non-parametric regression system of...

We consider the problem of estimating a varying coefficient panel data model with fixed-effects (FE) using a local linear regression approach. Unlike first-differenced estimator, our proposed estimator removes FE using kernel-based weights. This results a one-step estimator without using the...
