NONPARAMETRIC AND SEMIPARAMETRIC METHODS FOR ECONOMIC RESEARCH

Miguel A. Delgado, Peter M. Robinson

Open full text 50 citations

Abstract

Abstract.Developments in the vast and growing literatures on nonparametric and semiparametric statistical estimation are reviewed. The emphasis is on useful methodology rather than statistical properties for their own sake. Some empirical applications to economic data are described. The paper deals separately with nonparametric density estimation, nonparametric regression estimation, and estimation of semiparametric models.
