Abstract:

Models in which unobserved stochastic terms are nonseparable are interesting because they permit stochastic across-individual variation in the impacts of policy interventions. This paper shows how, under rather weak conditions, local nonparametric identification of interesting features of nonseparable models can be achieved in the presence of endogenous variation in policy instruments. Key among the identification conditions are local quantile independence of unobserved stochastic terms and local instrumental variables, and local analogs of familiar order and rank conditions. The identification results point directly to easily computed analog estimators which are elementary functionals of estimated quantile regression functions. The results suggest that quantile regression methods are a natural tool to employ in the study of nonseparable models.
