A Note on Parametric and Nonparametric Regression in the Presence of Endogenous Control Variables
A Note on Parametric and Nonparametric Regression in the Presence of Endogenous Control Variables This note argues that nonparametric regression not only relaxes functional form assumptions vis-a-vis parametric regression, but that it also permits endogenous control variables. To control for selection bias or to make an exclusion restriction in instrumental variables regression valid, additiona...
متن کاملA note on causal and CITE iterative learning control algorithms
Time and frequency domain convergence properties of causal and Current Iteration Tracking Error (CITE) discrete time Iterative Learning Control (ILC) algorithms are discussed. Considering necessary and sufficient convergence conditions basic matrix properties can be utilized to show that causal as well as CITE ILC algorithms converge to zero error in only very restrictive special cases. The fre...
متن کاملIdentification of Causal Parameters in Randomized Studies with Mediating Variables
Randomized trials are used to assess the effectiveness of one or more treatments in inducing outcomes of interest. Treatments are typically designed to target key mediating variables that are thought to be causally related to the outcome. Thus, researchers want to know not only if the treatment is effective, but how the mediators affect the outcome. Data from such studies are often analyzed usi...
متن کاملA Note on Auctions with Endogenous Participation
In this paper, we study an auction where bidders only know the number of potential applicants. After seeing their values for the object, bidders decide whether or not to enter the auction. Players may not want to enter the auction since they have to pay participation costs. We characterize the optimal bidding strategies for both firstand secondprice sealed-bid auction when participation is endo...
