Local identification of nonparametric and semiparametric models

X Chen, V Chernozhukov, S Lee, WK Newey - Econometrica, 2014 - Wiley Online Library
In parametric, nonlinear structural models, a classical sufficient condition for local
identification, like Fisher (1966) and Rothenberg (1971), is that the vector of moment …

Exploiting independent instruments: Identification and distribution generalization

S Saengkyongam, L Henckel… - … on Machine Learning, 2022 - proceedings.mlr.press
Instrumental variable models allow us to identify a causal function between covariates $ X $
and a response $ Y $, even in the presence of unobserved confounding. Most of the existing …

Identifiability of sparse causal effects using instrumental variables

N Pfister, J Peters - Uncertainty in Artificial Intelligence, 2022 - proceedings.mlr.press
Exogenous heterogeneity, for example, in the form of instrumental variables can help us
learn a system's underlying causal structure and predict the outcome of unseen intervention …

Nonparametric instrumental variables estimation for efficiency frontier

C Cazals, F Fève, JP Florens, L Simar - Journal of econometrics, 2016 - Elsevier
The paper investigates endogeneity issues in nonparametric frontier models. It considers a
nonseparable model for a cost function C= φ (Y, U) where C and Y are the cost and the …

Nonparametric instrumental regression with right censored duration outcomes

J Beyhum, JP Florens… - Journal of Business & …, 2022 - Taylor & Francis
This article analyzes the effect of a discrete treatment Z on a duration T. The treatment is not
randomly assigned. The confounding issue is treated using a discrete instrumental variable …

Nonparametric identification of random coefficients in endogenous and heterogeneous aggregate demand models

F Dunker, S Hoderlein, H Kaido - arxiv preprint arxiv:2201.06140, 2022 - arxiv.org
This paper studies nonparametric identification in market level demand models for
differentiated products with heterogeneous consumers. We consider a general class of …

Nonparametric estimation of accelerated failure-time models with unobservable confounders and random censoring

S Centorrino, JP Florens - Electronic Journal of Statistics, 2021 - projecteuclid.org
We consider nonparametric estimation of an accelerated failure-time model when the
response variable is randomly censored on the right, and regressors are not mean …

Identifying multiple marginal effects with a single instrument

C Caetano, JC Escanciano - Econometric Theory, 2021 - cambridge.org
This paper proposes a new strategy for the identification of the marginal effects of an
endogenous multivalued variable (which can be continuous, or a vector) in a model with an …

Adaptive estimation for some nonparametric instrumental variable models with full independence

F Dunker - Electronic Journal of Statistics, 2021 - projecteuclid.org
The problem of endogeneity in statistics and econometrics is often handled by introducing
instrumental variables (IV) which fulfill the mean independence assumption, ie the …

On parameter identification in stochastic differential equations by penalized maximum likelihood

F Dunker, T Hohage - Inverse Problems, 2014 - iopscience.iop.org
In this paper we present nonparametric estimators for coefficients in stochastic differential
equations if the data are described by independent, identically distributed random variables …
