Generalised instrumental variable models
The ability to allow for flexible forms of unobserved heterogeneity is an essential ingredient in modern microeconometrics. In this paper we extend the application of instrumental variable (IV) methods to a wide class of problems in which multiple values of unobservable variables can be associated with particular combinations of observed endogenous and exogenous variables. In our Generalized In...

متن کاملConsistency of Bayesian nonparametric Hidden Markov Models
We are interested in Bayesian nonparametric Hidden Markov Models. More precisely, we are going to prove the consistency of these models under appropriate conditions on the prior distribution and when the number of states of the Markov Chain is finite and known. Our approach is based on exponential forgetting and usual Bayesian consistency techniques.
متن کاملVariable Selection in Nonparametric Additive Models.
We consider a nonparametric additive model of a conditional mean function in which the number of variables and additive components may be larger than the sample size but the number of nonzero additive components is "small" relative to the sample size. The statistical problem is to determine which additive components are nonzero. The additive components are approximated by truncated series expan...
متن کاملAnalysis of Additive Instrumental Variable Models
We apply Bayesian methods to a model involving a binary endogenous regressor and an instrumental variable in which the functional forms of some of the covariates in both the treatment assignment and outcome distributions are unknown. Continuous and binary response variables are considered. Under the assumption that the functional form is additive in the covariates, we develop efficient Markov c...
