概率密度反卷积的磨光正则化方法AI 解读

We use mollification to regularize the problem of deconvolution of random variables. This regularization method offers a unifying and generalizing framework in order to compare the benefits of various filter-type techniques like deconvolution kernels, Tikhonov, or spectral cutoff methods. In particular, the mollifier approach allows to relax some restrictive assumptions required for the deconvolution kernels, and has better stabilizing properties compared with spectral…

存在内生性时半参数变换模型的估计AI 解读

We consider a semiparametric transformation model, in which the regression function has an additive nonparametric structure and the transformation of the response is assumed to belong to some parametric family. We suppose that endogeneity is present in the explanatory variables. Using a control function approach, we show that the proposed model is identified under suitable assumptions, and propose a profile estimation method for the transformation. The proposed estimator is…

利用分位数估计福利效应的分布AI 解读

Summary This paper proposes a framework to model welfare effects that are associated with a price change in a population of heterogeneous consumers. The framework is similar to that of Hausman and Newey ( Econometrica , 1995, 63 , 1445–1476), but allows for more general forms of heterogeneity. Individual demands are characterized by a general model that is nonparametric in the regressors, as well as monotonic in unobserved heterogeneity, allowing us to identify the…

非参数前沿估计中的不可观测异质性与内生性AI 解读

In production theory, firm efficiencies are measured by their distances to a production frontier. In the presence of heterogeneous conditions (like environmental factors) that may influence the shape and the position of the frontier, traditional measures of efficiency obtained in the space of inputs/outputs are difficult to interpret, since they mix managerial inefficiency and shift of the frontier. This can be corrected by using nonparametric conditional efficiencies. In…

方向距离及其稳健版本的概率刻画AI 解读

In this work, we analyze the performance of production units using the directional distance function which allows to measure the distance to the frontier of the production set along any direction in the inputs/outputs space. We show that this distance can be expressed as a simple transformation of radial or hyperbolic distance. This formulation allows to define robust directional distances in the lines of α-quantile or order-m partial frontiers and also conditional…

未知算子的病态逆问题收敛率AI 解读

This paper studies the estimation of a nonparametric function ϕ from the inverse problem r = Tϕ given estimates of the function r and of the linear transform T . We show that rates of convergence of the estimator are driven by two types of assumptions expressed in a single Hilbert scale. The two assumptions quantify the prior regularity of ϕ and the prior link existing between T and the Hilbert scale. The approach provides a unified framework that allows us to compare…

价格内生时精确消费者剩余的非参数估计AI 解读

This paper analyses a structural microeconomic relation describing the exact consumer surplus in a non-parametric setting with endogenous prices. The exact consumer surplus can be characterized as the solution of a differential equation involving the observed demand function. The strategy put forward in this paper involves two steps: first, estimate the demand function with endogeneity using non-parametric IV, second, plug this estimator into the differential equation to…

微分方程解的非参数研究AI 解读

The solution of differential equations lies at the heart of many problems in structural economics. In econometrics the general nonparametric analysis of consumer welfare is historically the most obvious application, but there are also many applications in finance and other fields. This work considers the general nonparametric form for these problems and identification conditions. It derives a kernel-based estimator and shows consistency and asymptotic normality.In…
