Abstract

We consider a nonparametric regression model with continuous endogenous independent variables when only discrete instruments are available that are independent of the error term. While this framework is very relevant for applied research, its implementation is cumbersome, as the regression function becomes the solution to a nonlinear integral equation. We propose a simple iterative procedure to estimate such models and showcase some of its asymptotic properties. In a simulation experiment, we discuss the details of its implementation in the case when the instrumental variable is binary. We conclude with an empirical application in which we examine the effect of pollution on house prices in a short panel of U.S. counties.
