Functional ecological inference

C Bontemps, JP Florens, N Meddahi - Journal of Econometrics, 2024 - Elsevier
In this paper, we consider the problem of ecological inference when one observes the
conditional distributions of Y| W and Z| W from aggregate data and attempts to infer the …

Optimal sup-norm rates, adaptivity and inference in nonparametric instrumental variables estimation

X Chen, T Christensen - 2015 - papers.ssrn.com
This paper makes several contributions to the literature on the important yet difficult problem
of estimating functions nonparametrically using instrumental variables. First, we derive the …

Nonparametric estimation of an instrumental regression: A quasi-Bayesian approach based on regularized posterior

JP Florens, A Simoni - Journal of Econometrics, 2012 - Elsevier
We propose a quasi-Bayesian nonparametric approach to estimating the structural
relationship φ among endogenous variables when instruments are available. We show that …

Nonparametric instrumental variable estimation of structural quantile effects

P Gagliardini, O Scaillet - Econometrica, 2012 - Wiley Online Library
We study the asymptotic distribution of Tikhonov regularized estimation of quantile structural
effects implied by a nonseparable model. The nonparametric instrumental variable estimator …

Is completeness necessary? Estimation in nonidentified linear models

A Babii, JP Florens - arXiv preprint arXiv:1709.03473, 2017 - arxiv.org

additive nonparametric regression models with instrumental variables. We consider various …

Honest confidence sets in nonparametric IV regression and other ill-posed models

A Babii - Econometric Theory, 2020 - cambridge.org

Adaptive estimation for some nonparametric instrumental variable models with full independence

F Dunker - Electronic Journal of Statistics, 2021 - projecteuclid.org
The problem of endogeneity in statistics and econometrics is often handled by introducing
instrumental variables (IV) which fulfill the mean independence assumption, ie the …

Asymptotic normal inference in linear inverse problems

M Carrasco, JP Florens, E Renault - 2014 - academic.oup.com
This chapter studies the estimation of φ in linear inverse problems Tφ= r, where r is only
observed with error and T may be given or estimated. The unknown element φ belongs to a …
