Large sample sieve estimation of semi-nonparametric models

X Chen - Handbook of econometrics, 2007 - Elsevier
Often researchers find parametric models restrictive and sensitive to deviations from the
parametric specifications; semi-nonparametric models are more flexible and robust, but lead …

The emergence of economic rationality of GPT

Y Chen, TX Liu, Y Shan, S Zhong - … of the National Academy of Sciences, 2023 - pnas.org
As large language models (LLMs) like GPT become increasingly prevalent, it is essential
that we assess their capabilities beyond language processing. This paper examines the …

Implementing nonparametric and semiparametric estimators

H Ichimura, PE Todd - Handbook of econometrics, 2007 - Elsevier
This chapter reviews recent advances in nonparametric and semiparametric estimation, with

Content contribution for revenue sharing and reputation in social media: A dynamic structural model

Q Tang, B Gu, AB Whinston - Journal of Management Information …, 2012 - Taylor & Francis
This study examines the incentives for content contribution in social media. We propose that
exposure and reputation are the major incentives for contributors. Besides, as more and …

Market structure and multiple equilibria in airline markets

F Ciliberto, E Tamer - Econometrica, 2009 - Wiley Online Library
We provide a practical method to estimate the payoff functions of players in complete
information, static, discrete games. With respect to the empirical literature on entry games …

Endogeneity in nonparametric and semiparametric regression models

R Blundell, JL Powell - Econometric society monographs, 2003 - books.google.com
The analysis of data with endogenous regressors-that is, observable explana-tory variables
that are correlated with unobservable error terms–is arguably the main contribution of …

Estimation of semiparametric models when the criterion function is not smooth

X Chen, O Linton, I Van Keilegom - Econometrica, 2003 - Wiley Online Library
We provide easy to verify sufficient conditions for the consistency and asymptotic normality
of a class of semiparametric optimization estimators where the criterion function does not …

Individual preferences for giving

R Fisman, S Kariv, D Markovits - American Economic Review, 2007 - aeaweb.org
We utilize graphical representations of Dictator Games which generate rich individual-level
data. Our baseline experiment employs budget sets over feasible payoff-pairs. We test these …

Who is (more) rational?

S Choi, S Kariv, W Müller, D Silverman - American Economic Review, 2014 - aeaweb.org
Revealed preference theory offers a criterion for decision-making quality: if decisions are
high quality then there exists a utility function the choices maximize. We conduct a large …

Semi‐nonparametric IV estimation of shape‐invariant Engel curves

R Blundell, X Chen, D Kristensen - Econometrica, 2007 - Wiley Online Library
This paper studies a shape‐invariant Engel curve system with endogenous total
expenditure, in which the shape‐invariant specification involves a common shift parameter …
