We present three essays on the econometric modeling of time-varying densities. In all three studies, we treat density functions themselves as random elements taking values in the Hilbert space of square integrable functions. The first essay introduces functional autoregression of one sequence of...

We propose a new methodology for estimating semiparametric panel data models, with a primary focus on the nonparametric component. We eliminate individual effects using first differencing transformation and estimate the unknown function by marginal integration. We extend our methodology to treat...
