This paper proposes a simple and efficient estimation procedure for the model with non-ignorable missing data studied by Morikawa and Kim (2016). Their semiparametrically efficient estimator requires explicit non- parametric estimation and so suffers from the curse of dimensionality and requires...

This paper presents a weighted optimization framework that unifies the binary, multi-valued, continuous, as well as mixture of discrete and continuous treatment, under unconfounded treatment assignment. With a general loss function, the framework includes the average, quantile and asymmetric...

This paper investigates the estimation of semiparametric copula models with data missing at random. The two-step maximum likelihood estimation of Genest, Ghoudi, and Rivest (1995) is infeasible if there are missing data. We propose a class of calibration estimators for the nonparametric marginal...
