Propensity score matching has become a popular method for the estimation of average treatment effects. In empirical applications, researchers almost always impose a parametric model for the propensity score. This practice raises the possibility that the model for the propensity score is...

We consider a model in which an outcome depends on two discrete treatment variables, where one treatment is given before the other. We formulate a three-equation triangular system with weak separability conditions. Without assuming assignment is random, we establish the identification of...

We develop an approach that resolves a {\it polynomial basis problem} for a class of models with discrete endogenous covariate, and for a class of econometric models considered in the work of Newey and Powell (2003), where the endogenous covariate is continuous. Suppose $X$ is a $d$-dimensional...

In this paper, we consider the nonparametric identification and estimation of the average effect of a dummy endogenous regressor in models where the regressors are weakly but not additively separable from the error term. The model is not required to be strictly increasing in the error term, and...

We show the identification of important features of the model in a perfect information entry game with two players and asymmetric payoffs when there are no unbounded regressors and the distribution of the unobservables is not parametrically specified.
