Asymptotic Properties of Endogeneity Corrections Using Nonlinear Transformations
This paper considers a linear regression model with an endogenous regressor which arises from a nonlinear transformation of a latent variable. It is shown that the corresponding coefficient can be consistently estimated without external instruments by adding a rank-based transformation of the regressor to the model and performing standard OLS estimation. In contrast to other approaches, our nonparametric control function approach does not rely on a conformably specified copula. Furthermore, the approach allows for the presence of additional exogenous regressors which may be (linearly) correlated with the endogenous regressor(s). Consistency and asymptotic normality of the estimator are proved and the estimator is compared with copula based approaches by means of Monte Carlo simulations. An empirical application on wage data of the US current population survey demonstrates the usefulness of our method.

Endogeneity Corrections in Binary Outcome Models with Nonlinear Transformations: Identification and Inference
For binary outcome models, an endogeneity correction based on nonlinear rank-based transformations is proposed. Identification without external instruments is achieved under one of two assumptions: either the endogenous …
Binary Choice Models with High-Dimensional Individual and Time Fixed Effects
Empirical economists are often deterred from the application of nonlinear fixed effects models mainly for two reasons: the incidental parameter problem and the computational challenge even in moderately large panels. Usi…

We propose and study a maximum likelihood estimator of stochastic frontier models with endogeneity in cross-section data when the composite error term may be correlated with inputs and environmental variables. Our framew…
Asymptotics-guided learning and symbolic regression for dispersive resonances
We study resonance prediction in dispersive media, formulated as nonlinear spectral problems for volume integral operators. The main idea is to use asymptotic analysis not only as a baseline approximation, but also as a …
