This paper provides a control function estimator to adjust for endogeneity in the triangular simultaneous equations model where there are no available exclusion restrictions to generate suitable instruments. Our approach is to exploit the dependence of the errors on exogenous variables (e.g....

Controlling the bias is central to estimating semiparametric models. Many methods have been developed to control bias in estimating conditional expectations while main- taining a desirable variance order. However, these methods typically do not perform well at moderate sample sizes. Moreover,...
