Applying Kernel and Nonparametric Estimation to Economic Topics

Nonparametric estimation and inference is becoming increasingly popular in economics because of the advent of extensive computing power and the development of efficient computer algorithms. Papers in this volume present techniques that permit inference that is robust to deviations from conventional parametric assumptions. The volume is divided into two sections. The first section contains papers concerned with methodology while the second section contains papers that emphasize the application of nonparametric techniques to practical problems.Fomby, T.
