We focus our attention on issues commonly found in the labor literature such as how to account for endogeneity via instrumental variables in a nonparametric setting. We showcase these methods via data from the Current Population Survey. KW - endogeneity KW - kernel KW - labor KW - nonparametic KW - regression KW - spline ER -
