Klappentext This collection investigates parametric, semiparametric, nonparametric, and nonlinear estimation techniques in statistical modeling. Zusammenfassung This collection brings together important contributions by leading econometricians on (i) parametric approaches to qualitative and sample selection models! (ii) nonparametric and semi-parametric approaches to qualitative and sample selection models! and (iii) nonlinear estimation of cross-sectional and time series models.
