Robust Inference for Convex Pairwise Difference Estimators

Matias D. Cattaneo, Michael Jansson, Kenichi Nagasawa

This paper develops distribution theory and bootstrap-based inference methods for a broad class of convex pairwise difference estimators. These estimators minimize a kernel-weighte…

Continuity of the Distribution Function of the argmax of a Gaussian Process

Matias D. Cattaneo, Gregory Fletcher Cox, Michael Jansson +1

Certain extremum estimators have asymptotic distributions that are non-Gaussian, yet characterizable as the distribution of the of a Gaussian process. This paper presents…

Bootstrap-Assisted Inference for Generalized Grenander-type Estimators

Matias D. Cattaneo, Michael Jansson, Kenichi Nagasawa

Westling and Carone (2020) proposed a framework for studying the large sample distributional properties of generalized Grenander-type estimators, a versatile class of nonparametric…

Higher-order Refinements of Small Bandwidth Asymptotics for Density-Weighted Average Derivative Estimators

Matias D. Cattaneo, Max H. Farrell, Michael Jansson +1

The density weighted average derivative (DWAD) of a regression function is a canonical parameter of interest in economics. Classical first-order large sample distribution theory fo…

Boundary Adaptive Local Polynomial Conditional Density Estimators

Matias D. Cattaneo, Rajita Chandak, Michael Jansson +1

We begin by introducing a class of conditional density estimators based on local polynomial techniques. The estimators are boundary adaptive and easy to implement. We then study th…
