Iterative Estimation of Nonparametric Regressions with Continuous Endogenous Variables and Discrete Instruments
We consider a nonparametric regression model with continuous endogenous independent variables when only discrete instruments are available that are independent of the error term. Although this framework is very relevant for applied research, its implementation is challenging, as the regression function becomes the solution to a nonlinear integral equation. We propose a simple iterative procedure to estimate such models and showcase some of its asymptotic properties. In a simulation experiment, we detail its implementation in the case when the instrumental variable is binary. We conclude with an empirical application to returns to education.

IV Regressions without Exclusion Restrictions
We study identification and estimation of endogenous linear and nonlinear regression models without excluded instrumental variables, based on the standard mean independence condition and a nonlinear relevance condition. …
regressionNonparametric Cointegrating Regression Functions with Endogeneity and Semi-Long Memory
This article develops nonparametric cointegrating regression models with endogeneity and semi-long memory. We assume that semi-long memory is produced in the regressor process by tempering of random shock coefficients. T…
regressionEM Approaches to Nonparametric Estimation for Mixture of Linear Regressions
In a mixture of linear regression model, the regression coefficients are treated as random vectors that may follow either a continuous or discrete distribution. We propose two Expectation-Maximization (EM) algorithms to …
New robust inference for predictive regressions
We propose two robust methods for testing hypotheses on unknown parameters of predictive regression models under heterogeneous and persistent volatility as well as endogenous, persistent and/or fat-tailed regressors and …
regressionA path-sampling method to partially identify causal effects in instrumental variable models
Partial identification approaches are a flexible and robust alternative to standard point-identification approaches in general instrumental variable models. However, this flexibility comes at the cost of a ``curse of car…
