This paper studies the estimation of dynamic covariance matrices with multiple conditioning variables, where the matrix …-to-implement semiparametric method to estimate each entry of the covariance matrix via model averaging marginal regression, and then apply a … shrinkage technique to obtain the large dynamic covariance matrix estimation. Under some regularity conditions, we derive the …

Empirically analyzing household behavior usually relies on informal data preprocessing. That is, before an econometric model is estimated, observations are selected in such a way that the resulting subset of data can be assumed to be sufficiently homogeneous with respect to the specific research...

In this paper, we investigate what can be learned about average counterfactual outcomes when it is assumed that treatment response functions are smooth. The smoothness conditions in this paper amount to assuming that the differences in average counterfactual outcomes are bounded under different...

Binscatter is very popular in applied microeconomics. It provides a flexible, yet parsimonious way of visualizing and summarizing "big data" in regression settings, and it is often used for informal testing of substantive hypotheses such as linearity or monotonicity of the regression function....

In this paper, we investigate what can be learned about average counterfactual outcomes as well as average treatment effects when it is assumed that treatment response functions are smooth. We obtain a set of new partial identification results for both the average treatment response and the...

A breakdown frontier is the boundary between the set of assumptions which lead to a specific conclusion and those which do not. In a potential outcomes model with a binary treatment, we consider two conclusions: First, that ATE is at least a specific value (e.g., nonnegative) and second that the...

Allowing for misspecification in the linear conditional quantile function, this paper provides a new interpretation and …–Bassett estimator minimizes a weighted distribution approximation error, defined as F Y (X ′ β(τ)|X)−τ , i.e., the deviation of the … conditional distribution function, evaluated at the linear quantile approximation, from the quantile level. The second result …

In many empirical studies, the states that are relevant for economic agents to make decisions may not be included in the data to which researchers have access. This problem often arises in the context of monotone industries. In this paper, we develop the sharp identified sets of structural...
