We propose a kernel-based estimator for a partially linear model in triangular systems where endogenous variables appear both in the nonparametric and linear component functions. Our estimator is easy to implement, has an explicit algebraic structure, and exhibits good finite sample performance...

An interesting puzzle in estimating the effect of education on labor market earnings (Card (2001)) is that the 2SLS estimate for the return to schooling typically exceeds the OLS estimate, but the 2SLS estimate is fairly imprecise. We provide a new explanation that it could be due to the...

We consider the estimation of a semiparametric regression model where data is independently and identically distributed. Our primary interest is on the estimation of the parameter vector, where the associated regressors are correlated with the errors and contain both continuous and discrete...
