It will complement other more theoretical books on the subject and as such it will prove very useful to many practitioners and students alike.' The current hands-on approach of the book comes to fill the gap and offer the applied researcher a manual of how to properly use these methods without compromising rigor. 'Nonparametric econometric methods have by now become quite common in applied research, yet, as in almost all areas of research, theory precedes practice. Henderson and Parmeter have performed a valuable service for students throughout the social sciences.' 'This well-written textbook represents a rigorous yet accessible introduction to nonparametric methods, one that makes clear the importance of these techniques for empirical research.
William Greene - Stern School of Business, New York University Researchers of all sorts will want to add this valuable resource to their libraries.' Theorists will find a compact survey of the most important foundations. Newcomers will enjoy their applications-oriented introduction to this growing field. 'Daniel Henderson and Chris Parmeter have provided a modern survey of nonparametric econometrics.
'Taking theory to data is difficult for most students, but this book provides substantial help by providing cogent explanations of practical considerations, including how well methods that work ‘in theory’ might be expected to work with real data in the quantities that researchers might have available.' Even advanced topics, such as nonparametric instrumental variables and nonparametric models with panel data, are treated at an accessible level.'
The text will be valuable to empirical researchers, who can expand their methodological toolkits without resorting to difficult journal articles. 'A clear and thorough treatment of nonparametric and semiparametric econometrics.
