We consider the estimation and identification of the functional structures of nonlinear econometric systems of the ARCH type. We employ nonparametric kernel estimates for the nonlinear functions characterizing the systems, and we establish strong consistency along with sharp rates of convergence...

This paper discusses nonparametric models for panels of time series. There is already a substantial literature on nonlinear models and nonparametric methods in a regression and time series setting. But almost without exception these developments have been limited to univariate and multivariate...

We propose to approximate the conditional expectation of a spatial random variable given its nearest-neighbour observations by an additive function. The setting is meaningful in practice and requires no unilateral ordering. It is capable of catching nonlinear features in spatial data and...
