On semiparametric estimation of the intercept of the sample selection model: a kernel approach
This paper presents a new perspective on the identification at infinity for the intercept of the sample selection model as identification at the boundary via a transformation of the selection index. This perspective suggests generalizations of estimation at infinity to kernel regression estimation at the boundary and further to local linear estimation at the boundary. The proposed kernel-type estimators with an estimated transformation are proven to be nonparametric-rate consistent and asymptotically normal under mild regularity conditions. A fully data-driven method of selecting the optimal bandwidths for the estimators is developed. The Monte Carlo simulation shows the desirable finite sample properties of the proposed estimators and bandwidth selection procedures.

Generalized Kernel Ridge Regression for Causal Inference with Missing-at-Random Sample Selection
I propose kernel ridge regression estimators for nonparametric dose response curves and semiparametric treatment effects in the setting where an analyst has access to a selected sample rather than a random sample; only f…

Density EstimationLocally robust semiparametric estimation of sample selection models without exclusion restrictions
Existing identification and estimation methods for semiparametric sample selection models rely heavily on exclusion restrictions. However, it is difficult in practice to find a credible excluded variable that has a corre…
