Joint Estimation and Bandwidth Selection in Partially Parametric Models

open access: yesJournal of Applied Econometrics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We propose a single‐step approach to estimating a model with both a known nonlinear parametric component and an unknown nonparametric component. We study the large sample behavior of a simultaneous optimization routine that estimates both the parameter vector of the parametric component and the bandwidth vector used to smooth the unknown ...

Count Data Models With Heterogeneous Peer Effects Under Rational Expectations

open access: yesJournal of Applied Econometrics, EarlyView.

Subsquares in Random Latin Squares and Rectangles

open access: yesJournal of Combinatorial Designs, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A k×n $k\times n$ partial Latin rectangle is C‐sparse $C \mbox{-} \mathrm{sparse}$ if the number of nonempty entries in each row and column is at most C $C$ and each symbol is used at most C $C$ times. We prove that the probability a uniformly random k×n $k\times n$ Latin rectangle, where k<(1∕2−α)n $k\lt (1\unicode{x02215}2-\alpha )n ...
