Direct instrumental nonparametric estimation of inverse regression functions
逆回归函数的直接工具变量非参数估计
This paper treats the estimation of the inverse g−1 of a monotonic function g satisfying E[Y−g(X)|W]=0 where (X,W) is continuously distributed. Using instrumental restrictions, many parameters of interest in econometrics can be expressed as inverses of functions satisfying such a conditional moment. As far as I know, consistent estimators are available only if g(X)=E[Y|X], which precludes endogenous models. This, and other technical concerns, motivates a methodology for…
