Optimal Sup-Norm Rates, Adaptivity And Inference In Nonparametric Instrumental Variables Estimation, Xiaohong Chen, Timothy M. Christensen Nov 2013

Optimal Sup-Norm Rates, Adaptivity And Inference In Nonparametric Instrumental Variables Estimation, Xiaohong Chen, Timothy M. Christensen

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

This paper makes several contributions to the literature on the important yet difficult problem of estimating functions nonparametrically using instrumental variables. First, we derive the minimax optimal sup-norm convergence rates for nonparametric instrumental variables (NPIV) estimation of the structural function h 0 and its derivatives. Second, we show that a computationally simple sieve NPIV estimator can attain the optimal sup-norm rates for h 0 and its derivatives when h 0 is approximated via a spline or wavelet sieve. Our optimal sup-norm rates surprisingly coincide with the optimal L 2 -norm rates for severely ill-posed problems, and are only up to …


Inference On Optimal Treatment Assignments, Timothy B. Armstrong, Shu Shen Nov 2013

Inference On Optimal Treatment Assignments, Timothy B. Armstrong, Shu Shen

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

We consider inference on optimal treatment assignments. Our methods allow for inference on the treatment assignment rule that would be optimal given knowledge of the population treatment effect in a general setting. The procedure uses multiple hypothesis testing methods to determine a subset of the population for which assignment to treatment can be determined to be optimal after conditioning on all available information, with a prespecified level of confidence. A monte carlo study confirms that the inference procedure has good small sample behavior. We apply the method to study the Mexican conditional cash transfer program Progresa.


New Goodness-Of-Fit Diagnostics For Conditional Discrete Response Models, Igor Kheifets, Carlos Velasco Nov 2013

New Goodness-Of-Fit Diagnostics For Conditional Discrete Response Models, Igor Kheifets, Carlos Velasco

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

This paper proposes new specification tests for conditional models with discrete responses, which are key to apply efficient maximum likelihood methods, to obtain consistent estimates of partial effects and to get appropriate predictions of the probability of future events. In particular, we test the static and dynamic ordered choice model specifications and can cover infinite support distributions for e.g. count data. The traditional approach for specification testing of discrete response models is based on probability integral transforms of a jittered discrete data which leads to continuous uniform iid series under the true conditional distribution. Then, standard specification testing techniques for …


Optimal Uniform Convergence Rates For Sieve Nonparametric Instrumental Variables Regression, Xiaohong Chen, Timothy M. Christensen Nov 2013

Optimal Uniform Convergence Rates For Sieve Nonparametric Instrumental Variables Regression, Xiaohong Chen, Timothy M. Christensen

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

We study the problem of nonparametric regression when the regressor is endogenous, which is an important nonparametric instrumental variables (NPIV) regression in econometrics and a difficult ill-posed inverse problem with unknown operator in statistics. We first establish a general upper bound on the sup-norm (uniform) convergence rate of a sieve estimator, allowing for endogenous regressors and weakly dependent data. This result leads to the optimal sup-norm convergence rates for spline and wavelet least squares regression estimators under weakly dependent data and heavy-tailed error terms. This upper bound also yields the sup-norm convergence rates for sieve NPIV estimators under i.i.d. data: …


Fairness Through The Lens Of Cooperative Game Theory: An Experimental Approach, Geoffroy De Clippel, Kareen Rozen Nov 2013

Fairness Through The Lens Of Cooperative Game Theory: An Experimental Approach, Geoffroy De Clippel, Kareen Rozen

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

This paper experimentally investigates cooperative game theory from a normative perspective. Subjects designated as Decision Makers express their view on what is fair for others, by recommending a payoff allocation for three subjects (Recipients) whose substitutabilities and complementarities are captured by a characteristic function. We show that axioms and solution concepts from cooperative game theory provide valuable insights into the data. Axiomatic and regression analysis suggest that Decision Makers’ choices can be (noisily) described as a convex combination of the Shapley value and equal split solution. A mixture model analysis, examining the distribution of Just Deserts indices describing how far …


Extremal Information Structures In The First Price Auction, Dirk Bergemann, Benjamin Brooks, Stephen Morris Nov 2013

Extremal Information Structures In The First Price Auction, Dirk Bergemann, Benjamin Brooks, Stephen Morris

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

We study how the outcomes of a private-value first price auction can vary with bidders’ information, for a fixed distribution of private values. In a two bidder, two value, setting, we characterize all combinations of bidder surplus and revenue that can arise, and identify the information structure that minimizes revenue. The extremal information structure that minimizes revenue entails each bidder observing a noisy and correlated signal about the other bidder’s value. In the general environment with many bidders and many values, we characterize the minimum bidder surplus of each bidder and maximum revenue across all information structures. The extremal information …
