在非參數(shù)工具變量模型中恢復(fù)回歸函數(shù)的逆問題的不適定性導(dǎo)致估計(jì)量可能遭受非常慢的對(duì)數(shù)收斂速度。在本文中,我們證明了將問題限制在具有單調(diào)回歸函數(shù)和單調(diào)工具的模型上,顯著地削弱了問題的不適定性。與現(xiàn)有文獻(xiàn)形成鮮明對(duì)比的是,單調(diào)工具的存在意味著我們的不適定性測(cè)度在局限于單調(diào)函數(shù)空間時(shí)的有界性。在此基礎(chǔ)上,我們給出了約束估計(jì)的一個(gè)新的非漸近誤差界。對(duì)于給定的樣本量,只要回歸函數(shù)不太陡,其界與不適定性無關(guān)。作為一個(gè)蘊(yùn)涵,這個(gè)界允許我們證明約束估計(jì)量在常數(shù)函數(shù)的一個(gè)大的但緩慢收縮的鄰域中以快速的多項(xiàng)式速度收斂,而與不適定性無關(guān)。我們的模擬研究表明,即使在回歸函數(shù)遠(yuǎn)不是常數(shù)的情況下,施加單調(diào)性也能顯著地提高有限樣本的性能。我們將約束估計(jì)量應(yīng)用于從美國(guó)數(shù)據(jù)估計(jì)汽油需求函數(shù)的問題。

英文摘要:
The ill-posedness of the inverse problem of recovering a regression function in a nonparametric instrumental variable model leads to estimators that may suffer from a very slow, logarithmic rate of convergence. In this paper, we show that restricting the problem to models with monotone regression functions and monotone instruments significantly weakens the ill-posedness of the problem. In stark contrast to the existing literature, the presence of a monotone instrument implies boundedness of our measure of ill-posedness when restricted to the space of monotone functions. Based on this result we derive a novel non-asymptotic error bound for the constrained estimator that imposes monotonicity of the regression function. For a given sample size, the bound is independent of the degree of ill-posedness as long as the regression function is not too steep. As an implication, the bound allows us to show that the constrained estimator converges at a fast, polynomial rate, independently of the degree of ill-posedness, in a large, but slowly shrinking neighborhood of constant functions. Our simulation study demonstrates significant finite-sample performance gains from imposing monotonicity even when the regression function is rather far from being a constant. We apply the constrained estimator to the problem of estimating gasoline demand functions from U.S. data.
