This chapter surveys nonparametric methods for estimation and inference in a panel data setting. Methods surveyed include profile likelihood, kernel smoothers, as well as series and sieve estimators. The practical application of nonparametric panel-based techniques is less prevalent that, say,...

Monte Carlo (MC) simulations are one of the dominant approaches to compare statistical methods. To date, there is no standard procedure for MC simulations. Although internally valid, they exhibit a certain degree of arbitrariness through the various choices that researchers make. In this paper,...
