problems faced in applied econometrics. This book helps bridge this gap between applied
economists and theoretical nonparametric econometricians, discussing basic to advanced
nonparametric methods with applications.
• Explains nonparametric econometrics at a level most economists can understand
• Discusses how to properly apply nonparametric methods
• Presents new material in what is a rapidly advancing field

3 ECONOMETRICS, STATISTICS AND MATHEMATICAL ECONOMICS
