In nonseparable triangular models with a binary endogenous treatment and a binary instrumental variable, Vuong and Xu (2017) show that the individual treatment effects (ITEs) are identifiable. Feng, Vuong, and Xu (2019) show that a kernel density estimator that uses nonparametrically estimated ITEs as observations is uniformly consistent for the density of the ITE. In this paper, we establish the asymptotic normality of the density estimator of Feng, Vuong, and Xu (2019) and show that despite…

Jackknife multiplier bootstrap: finite sample approximations to the U-process supremum with applications

A novel jackknife multiplier bootstrap (JMB) tailored to the U-process is proposed, and coupling and Kolmogorov distance bounds are derived and new local maximal inequalities for $U$-processes are established, which may be useful in other problems.
