This paper proposes feasible nonparametric random effects estimators. Specifically, we propose feasible versions of the two estimators in Lin and Carroll (2000) and a modified version of the random effects estimator in Ullah and Roy (1998). Further, the consistency properties of these estimators...

This paper uses nonparametric kernel methods to construct observation-specific elasticities of substitution for a balanced panel of 73 developed and developing countries to examine the capital-skill complementarity hypothesis. The exercise shows some support for capital-skill complementarity,...
