Semiparametric methods in econometrics

the long version

This book presents the main ideas underlying a variety of semiparametric methods in a way that will be accessible to graduate students and applied researchers who are familiar with econometrics theory at the level taught in graduate-level courses in leading universities. The book emphasizes ideas instead of technical details and provides as intuitive an exposition as possible. There are empirical examples that illustrate the methods that are presented and examples without data of applied problems in which semiparametric methods can be useful.
