Nonparametric Identification And Estimation Of Truncated Regression Models With Heteroskedasticity
2017
We consider nonparametric identi
cation and estimation of truncated regression models with unknown conditional heteroskedasticity. The existing methods (e.g., Chen (2010)) that ignore heteroskedasticity often result in inconsistent estimators of regression functions. In this paper, we show that both the regression and heteroskedasticity functions are identi
ed in a location-scale setting. Based on our constructive identi
cation results, we propose kernel-based estimators of regression and heteroskedasticity functions and show that the estimators are asymptotically normally distributed. Our simulations demonstrate that our new method performs well in
nite samples. In particular, we con
rm that in the presence of heteroskedasticity, our new estimator of the regression function has a much smaller bias than Chens (2010) estimator. Key Words: Truncated data; Nonparametric regression; Heteroskedasticity; Kernel estimator. JEL Classi
