This chapter gives an overview over smooth backfitting-type estimators in additive models. Moreover, it illustrates their wide applicability in models closely related to additive models such as nonparametric regression with dependent error variables where the errors can be transformed to white...

We analyze the properties of non- and semiparametric estimation procedures involving nonparametric regression with generated covariates. Such estimators appear in numerous econometric applications, including nonparametric estimation of simultaneous equation models, sample selection models,...

This article studies nonparametric estimation of a regression model for d ≥ 2 potentially non-stationary regressors. It provides the first nonparametric procedure for a wide and important range of practical problems, for which there has been no applicable nonparametric estimation technique...

We propose marginal integration estimation and testing methods for the coefficients of varying coefficient multivariate regression model. Asymptotic distribution theory is developed for the estimation method which enjoys the same rate of convergence as univariate function estimation. For the...
