Imposing Monotonicity Nonparametrically in First-Price Auctions
Monotonicity of the equilibrium bidding strategy is a key property of structural auction models. Traditional nonparametric estimators provide a flexible means of uncovering salient features of auction data, but do not formally impose the monotonicity assumption that is inherent in the models during estimation. Here, we develop a nonparametric estimator which imposes the monotonicity assumption....
متن کاملNonparametric Regression with Nonparametrically Generated Covariates
In this paper, we analyze the properties of nonparametric estimators of a regression function when some covariates are not directly observed, but have only been estimated by some nonparametric procedure. We provide general results that can be used to establish rates of consistency or asymptotic normality in numerous econometric applications, including nonparametric estimation of simultaneous eq...
متن کاملNonparametrically Learning Activation Functions in Deep Neural Nets
We provide a principled framework for nonparametrically learning activation functions in deep neural networks. Currently, state-of-the-art deep networks treat choice of activation function as a hyper-parameter before training. By allowing activation functions to be estimated as part of the training procedure, we expand the class of functions that each node in the network can learn. We also prov...
متن کاملUniform confidence bands for functions estimated nonparametrically with instrumental variables
This paper is concerned with developing uniform confidence bands for functions estimated nonparametrically with instrumental variables. We show that a sieve nonparametric instrumental variables estimator is pointwise asymptotically normally distributed. The asymptotic normality result holds in both mildly and severely ill-posed cases. We present an interpolation method to obtain a uniform confi...

Monotonicity of the equilibrium bidding strategy is a key property of structural auction models. Traditional nonparametric estimators provide a flexible means of uncovering salient features of auction data, but do not formally impose the monotonicity assumption that is inherent in the models they are trying to estimate.
