This paper proposes a new combined semiparametric estimator of the conditional variance that takes the product of a parametric estimator and a nonparametric estimator based on machine learning. A popular kernel-based machine learning algorithm, known as the kernel-regularized least squares...

When one wants to estimate a model without specifying the functions and distributions parametrically, or when one wants to analyze the identification of a model independently of any particular parametric specification, it is useful to perform a nonparametric analysis of identification. This...

Using high-frequency intraday data, we construct, test and model seven new realized volatility estimators for six international equity indices. We detect jumps in these estimators, construct the jump components of volatility and perform various tests on their properties. Then we use the class of...

In this paper, we propose a new non-parametric density estimator derived from the theory of frames and Riesz bases. In particular, we propose the so-called bi-orthogonal density estimator based on the class of B-splines, and derive its theoretical properties including the asymptotically optimal...

We introduce tests for finite-sample linear regressions with heteroskedastic errors. The tests are exact, i.e., they have guaranteed type I error probabilities when bounds are known on the range of the dependent variable, without any assumptions about the noise structure. We provide upper bounds...

This paper studies the problem of identification and estimation in nonparametric regression models with a misclassified … binary regressor where the measurement error may be correlated with the regressors. We show that the regression function is … underlying variable but unrelated to the measurement error. Identification for semi-parametric and parametric regression …

Given the ubiquitous presence of endogenous regressors and the challenges in finding good instruments to overcome the endogeneity problem, a forefront of recent research is the development and application of endogeneity correction methods without requiring instruments. In this article, we...
