Identification of a class of index models: A topological approach
一类指数模型的识别:拓扑方法
Summary We establish nonparametric identification in a class of so-called index models by using a novel approach that relies on general topological results. Our proof strategy requires substantially weaker conditions on the functions and distributions characterising the model than those required by existing strategies; in particular, it does not require any large-support conditions on the regressors of our model. We apply the general identification result to additive random…
