We assume a stochastic polynomial restriction on the form of the heterogeneity but, unlike alternative nonparametric control function approaches, our approach does not require large support assumptions. | Funding Details: | National Science Foundation National Institutes of Health Economic and Social Research Council Centre for Fiscal policy at the IFS |
